DESCALING
Limescale normally builds up with the use
of the appliance.
The machine must be descaled when the
icon appears on the display.
Important note: It is recom-
mended to refer to the next
section, “Remarks on Descaling”, for
some tips about keeping the machine
in perfect working order.
Do not turn the machine off or
put it in stand-by mode during
the descaling process.
Only use the Saeco descaling
solution. 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 pro-
ducts dispensed until the cycle has
been carried out to the end. Never use
vinegar as a descaling solution.
Before descaling, remove the Pannarello
(if supplied) from the steam wand as de-
scribed in the “Cleaning and Maintenance”
section.
• Turn the machine on by pressing the
“STAND-BY” button.
Wait for the
machine to finish its rinse cycle
and warm up.
Warning! Remove the “Inten-
za” fi lter (if installed) before
adding the descaling solution.
• Pour the entire content of the Saeco
concentrated descaling solution into
the water tank, and then fi ll the tank
with fresh drinking water up to the
MAX level. Place the tank back in the
machine.
1 Place a container below the steam
wand.
Use a container of at least 1
litre capacity. If you do not
have a container of this capacity,
once it is fi lled close the knob, empty
the container and then place it again
under the wand and repeat the
procedure.

in the tank, turn the selector switch
