DESCALING

When the “CALC CLEAN” icon is displayed, you need to descale the 
machine.

The descaling cycle takes approx. 30 minutes.

 Caution:

Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working 
properly. In this case, repair is NOT covered by warranty.

 Warning:

Use the Saeco descaling solution only. Its formula has been designed 
to ensure better machine performance. The use of other products may 
damage the machine and leave residues in the water.

The Saeco descaling solution can be purchased separately. For further 
details, please refer to the maintenance products page in this manual.

 Warning:

Never drink the descaling solution or any products dispensed until the 
cycle has been carried out to the end. Never use vinegar as a descaling 
solution.

 

Note: 

Do not remove the brew group during the descaling process.
