10 DESCALING THE MACHINE

Limescale is a result of mineral deposits from water.
This normally builds up with the use of the appliance.
Descaling is necessary every 2-3 working months and/or
when you notice any reduction in water fl ow.
You can use a non-toxic and/or non-harmful
descaling product for coffee machines,
commonly available in retail stores. We recommend
using Saeco descaling solution.
Warning! Do not use vinegar or lemon juice
as a descaler.
• Remove and empty the water tank.
• (Fig.2) - Mix the descaling solution with water as speci-
fi ed on the packet of solution, and fi ll the water tank. Fit
the tank into the machine.
• (Fig.4B) - Switch on the machine by pressing the power
button (2).
• (Fig.5) - Place a container under the steam spout.
• Open the knob (7) and press the brew button (4) to
dispense water at intervals (one cup at a time). Press
the button (4) again to stop brewing, then close the knob
(7).
• (Fig.4B) - During each interval allow the descaling
solution to sit for about 10-15 minutes, switching off the
machine by means of the power button (2). Empty the
container.
• (Fig.2) - When the descaling solution is fi nished, remove
the water tank, rinse and fi ll it with fresh drinking water.
• (Fig.3; Fig.5) - Re-insert the tank into its housing. Open
the knob (7) and press the button (4) to empty 2/3 of the
water. Press the brew button (4) again and close the
steam knob (7) clockwise to stop dispensing.
• Let the machine warm up and empty the water tank as
described above.
If you are using a descaling product other than
the one recommended, it is important that
you carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions
detailed on the package of the descaling product.
