NOTE: Use the GAGGIA descaling
product only. Its formula has been
designed to ensure better machine
performance and operation for its

used, it also avoids alterations in the
brewed product. The descaling solu-

to the manufacturer's instructions
and/or regulations in force in the
country of use.

dispensed until the cycle has finished. Never use vinegar
