Descaling procedure

Please use Philips descaler only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaler based on sulfuric
acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfamic or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the water circuit in your
machine and not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Philips descaler will void your
warranty. Failure to descale the appliance will also void your warranty. You can buy Philips descaling
solution in the online shop at www.saeco.com/care.
1 When the machine asks you to descale it, press the start/stop
without being prompted by the machine, tap the Clean
the instructions on the screen to start the descaling procedure.
2 Remove the drip tray and the coffee grounds container, empty them and put them back into place.
3 Remove the water tank and empty it. Then remove the AquaClean filter.
4 Pour the whole bottle of Philips descaler in the water tank and then fill it with water up to the CALC
CLEAN level (Fig. 34). Then place it back into the machine.
5 Remove and rinse the milk carafe. Fill the milk carafe with water up to the MIN level indication.
Insert the milk carafe into the machine and open the milk froth spout.
6 Place a large bowl (1.5 l) under the coffee dispensing spout.
7 The descaling procedure lasts approx. 20 minutes and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing
cycle.
8 Wait until the machine stops dispensing water.
9 Once the descaling cycle is finished, you need to rinse the water tank and water circuit. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
10 Place a new AquaClean filter in the water tank.
Tip: Using the AquaClean filter reduces the need for descaling!

You can exit the descaling procedure by pressing the on/off button on the control panel. If the
descaling procedure is interrupted before it is completely finished, do the following:
1 Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly.
2 Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the CALC CLEAN level indication and switch the machine
back on. The machine will heat up and perform an automatic rinsing cycle.
3 Before brewing any drinks, perform a manual rinsing cycle. To perform a manual rinsing cycle, first
dispense half a water tank of hot water and then brew 2 cups of pre-ground coffee without adding
