12 Descaling
Limescale is a natural part of the water used for machine op-
eration. It needs to be removed regularly as it may clog the
water and coff ee circuit of your appliance.
This is an easy procedure for your Gaggia machine. When the
"
" light (19) turns on, a descaling cycle is recommended.
When the " " light (19) starts blinking, descaling is com-
pulsory.
This operation needs to be carried out before
the appliance stops working properly, as in this
case repair is not covered by warranty.
Use the Gaggia descaling product (Fig. B). Its
formula has been designed to ensure better
machine performance and operation for its whole op-
erating life. If correctly used, it also avoids alterations
in the brewed product. Before starting a descaling cy-
cle make sure that: THE WATER FILTER (if used) HAS BEEN
REMOVED.
Never drink the descaling solution or any prod-
ucts dispensed until the cycle has been fully car-
ried out. Never use vinegar as a descaling solution.
1 13 14 Insert the fi lter holder (21) into the brew unit (4)
from the bottom. Turn the pressurized fi lter holder from
left to right until it locks into place. Release the pressurized
fi lter holder grip. The handle will turn slightly to the left.
This movement guarantees optimum fi lter holder perfor-
mance.
