> maintenance > descaling > execute now
This menu performs the automatic descaling cycle. Descaling is necessary every 3-4 months, when water dispenses
more slowly than normal, or when the machine indicates the need to descale. The machine must be turned on and
will automatically manage the dispensing of the descaling agent.
A PERSON MUST BE PRESENT DURING THIS OPERATION.
WARNING! NEVER USE VINEGAR AS A DESCALER.
Saeco descaler is recommended; however, you can use any non-toxic and/or non-harmful descaling product for
coffee machines. The used solution is to be disposed of according to the manufacturer's instructions and/or
regulations in force in the country of use.
Note: before beginning the descaling cycle make sure that:
1. a large enough container is positioned under the water spout;
2. THE WATER FILTER HAS BEEN REMOVED.
