The descaling cycle is now complete.
Please note:
• If the descaling cycle is not completed correctly (e.g. no
electricity) we recommend repeating the cycle;
• After descaling, it is normal for the grounds container
(A11) to contain water.
• If the water tank has not been filled to the MAX level, at
the end of descaling, the machine requests a third rinse to
guarantee that the descaler solution has been complete-
ly eliminated from the machine's internal circuits. Before
starting rinsing, remember to empty the drip tray;
• The machine may request descaling cycles at very short in-
tervals. This is normal and due to the machine's advanced
control system.
