The machine must not be exposed to temperatures
lower than 0°C as the water in the circuits may freeze
(even if the tank has been emptied).
DESCALING
The descaling process takes approx. 25 minutes.
Limescale builds up inside the machine during normal use. It needs
to be removed regularly as it may clog the water and coffee circuit of
your machine. The machine automatically indicates when it needs
descaling when the service indicator light (orange) is constantly
lit.
Not doing this may ultimately make your machine
stop working properly, and in this case repair is NOT
covered by your guarantee.
We recommend using Saeco descaling solution (sold
separately), whose formula has been designed to
respect the technical specifications of the machine, thus
ensuring its continued service in the long term and for its safe
and risk-free use. The descaling solution is to be disposed of
according to the manufacturer’s instructions and/or the
regulations in force in the country of use. The Durgol descaling
solution also respects the technical specifications of the
machine.
Warning! Never drink the descaling solution or any
products dispensed until the cycle has been com-
pleted. Never use vinegar as a descaling solution.
