•  You should use De’Longhi descaler only. Using unsuitable 

descaler and/or performing descaling incorrectly may re-
sult in faults not covered by the manufacturer's guarantee.

1.  Turn the appliance on and wait until it is ready for use;
2.  Press the 

P

 button (B4) to access the menu;

3.  Turn the selection dial (B2) until "Descaling" is displayed;
4.  Select by pressing the 

button (B9). "Descale Con-

firm?" appears on the display (B1). Press 

 again to 

enable the function;

5.  "EMPTY DRIP TRAY" is displayed, alternating with "RE-

MOVE FILTER" (if the filter is present) and "Add descaler 
Confirm?";

6.  Empty the water tank (A10) completely and remove the 

water softener filter (C4) (if present). Empty the drip tray 
(A19) (fig. 24) and grounds container (A15), then put them

 (corresponding

8.   Place an empty container with a minimum capacity of 1.8 

litres under the coffee spouts (A14) and hot water spout 
(C6) (fig. 37).

 Important!  Danger of burns 

Hot water containing acid flows out of the coffee spouts and 
hot water spout. Take care to avoid contact with splashes of this 
solution.

9.  Press the 

 button to confirm that you have added the 

descaler solution. The message "Descale underway" is dis-
played and the descaling procedure begins.  The descaler 
liquid comes out of the coffee spouts and hot water spout 
and a series of rinses and pauses is performed to remove 
limescale deposits from inside the machine;

After about 25 minutes, descaling stops and the messages 
"RINSING" and "FILL TANK" alternate on the display.

ment dial (D1) anti-
clockwise to the "IN-
SERT" position (fig. 33) 
and pull off upwards;

nents thoroughly with 
hot water and mild 
washing-up liquid. All 
components are dish-
washer safe, placing 
them in the top basket 
of the dishwasher.

 

Make sure there are no milk residues on the hollow and 
groove under the dial (fig. 34). If necessary, scrape the 
groove with a toothpick;

spout and milk intake tube;

8.  Place the lid back on the milk container (D3).

13.11 Cleaning the hot water/steam connection 

nozzle

Each time you prepare milk, clean the connection nozzle (A13) 
with a sponge to remove milk residues from the gaskets (fig. 
23).

14.  DESCALING

Descale the machine when the message "DESCALE" flashes on 
the display (B1).

Important! 

•  Before use, read the instructions and the labelling on the 

descaler pack.
