10.2.9 DESCALING
Limescale is a natural part of the water used for machine
operation. It needs to be removed regularly as it may clog
the water and coffee circuit of your appliance.
The machine electronics show on the display when
descaling is needed. This operation needs to be carried
out before the appliance stops working properly, as in this
case repair is not covered by warranty.
Use the Saeco descaling product only. Its formula has been
specifically designed to ensure better machine
performance and operation for its whole operating life. If
correctly used, it also avoids alterations in the dispensed
product.
The descaling solution and the complete "Maintenance Kit"
may be purchased at your local dealer or at authorised
service centres.
Never drink the descaling
solution or any products
brewed until the cycle has
been completed.
Never use vinegar as a
descaling solution.
Machine descaling comprises 3 procedures that are listed
below:
• Steam circuit descaling
• Coffee circuit descaling
• Hot water circuit descaling
Perform all 3 descaling
procedures.
After completing all 3
descaling procedures refill
the water tank with fresh
water and perform a
cleaning cycle of the hot
water, coffee and steam
circuits before using the
machine.
Empty the containers used to collect the liquid dispensed
by the machine.
When the descaling cycle has been completed, it is
recommended to empty the drip tray.
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.
