11 DESCALING
Limescale / mineral / scale build-up will occur during
the lifespan of this appliance. To ensure the longevity
of your machine, you should descale it every 2-3
months, or sooner if you notice a reduction in the
water flow or when the LED of the button (26) flashes.
We recommend the Saeco descaler.
You can also use any citric based,
non-toxic and non-chemical descaler/
decalcifier for these systems.
Caution! Never use vinegar.
To descale the appliance proceed as follows:
• Mix the descaler with water as specified on
the package and fill the water tank.
• Switch ON the appliance with the ON/OFF
switch (7).
• Press the button (26) for at least 5 seconds to
select the descaling operating mode; the LED
will come on steady when descaling activated.
• Direct the steam nozzle (14) toward the drip tray.
• Position a large container under the steam
nozzle and turn the hot water knob
counterclockwise (16). The appliance starts
an automatic descaling cycle with pauses
preset by the manufacturer and managed
automatically by the appliance.
• At the end of the cycle, the flow of the
descaling solution is shut off and the 5 buttons
start flashing simultaneously.
• Turn the knob of the hot water nozzle (16)
clockwise to OFF. At this time the warning light
(27) flashes.
• Rinse the water tank and fill it with fresh water.
• Position a large container under the steam
nozzle and empty 2/3 of the contents of the
water tank by turning the steam knob (16)
counterclockwise; to shut off the flow, turn the
knob (16) clockwise.
• Let the appliance heat up and empty the
remaining contents of the water tank by
pressing the hot water button (25) and turning
steam knob (16) counterclockwise; to stop
flow, turn it clockwise.
If you use a descaling/ decalcifying
product other than Saeco’s, follow
the manufacturer ’s directions on the
package to mix the right quantity of
product/water. Then descale as described
above.
If the descaling cycle is interrupted
by switching the machine OFF, it will
continue when the machine is switched back
ON . You must finish the descaling cycle.
12 FUNCTION PROGRAMMING
The appliance allows you to program some
parameters depending on your needs.
To program the functions, you must enter the

same time, switch ON the appliance using
the ON/OFF switch (7).

12.1 Programming water hardness
Water hardness varies, depending on the area

the water hardness level, expressed on a scale
from 1 to 4, of your area.
The appliance is already set to an average value
(hardness 3).
