DESCALING
Limescale normally builds up with the use
of the appliance.
The machine must be descaled when the
icon appears on the display.
Do not turn the machine off
or put it in stand-by mode
during the descaling process.
Use the Saeco descaling prod-
uct only. Its formula has been
designed to ensure better machine
performance and operation for its
whole operating life. If correctly
used, it also avoids alterations in the
brewed product.
Warning! Never drink the
descaling solution or any
products brewed until the cycle has
been carried out to the end. Never
use vinegar as a descaling solution.
Before descaling the machine, perform
the following operations:
- remove the Pannarello (if supplied)
from the steam wand as described
