DESCALING
Descale the appliance when the light on the panel flash-
es.
Important!
• Descaler contains acids which may irritate the skin and
eyes. It is vital to respect the manufacturer’s safety warn-
ings given on the descaler pack and the warnings relating
to the procedure to follow in the event of contact with the
skin and eyes.
• 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 machine on.
2. Empty the water tank (A12).
3. Pour the descaler diluted with water (respecting the pro-
portions indicated on the descaler pack) into the water
tank.
Place an empty container with a minimum capacity of 1.5
litres under the hot water spout.
4. Wait for the and lights to come on steadily.
Important! Danger of burns
Hot water containing acid flows from the cappuccino maker.
Avoid contact with splashes of water.
5. Press the
button and hold it down for at least 5
seconds to confirm that you have added the solution and
begin the descaling procedure. The light in the button
remains on steadily to indicate that the descaling pro-
gramme has begun (the
and llghts and the
steam light flash).
6. Turn the steam knob a half turn anticlockwise. The descaler
solution flows out of the cappuccino maker into the under-
lying container.

rinses and pauses to remove limescale deposits from inside
the machine.

light comes on. Turn the steam knob a half turn clockwise as
far as it will go.
The appliance is now ready for rinsing through with clean water.

fill with clean water and replace.
