11 DESCALING
Limescale builds up with the use of the appliance; the machine
needs descaling every 1-2 months and/or whenever a reduc-
tion in water fl ow is noticed. Use the Saeco descaling product
only.
In case of confl ict, priority must be given to
what is indicated in the operation and mainte-
nance manual over the instructions provided on sepa-
rately sold accessories and materials.
Use the Saeco descaling product (Fig. B). Its
formula has been designed to ensure better
machine performance and operation for its whole op-
erating life. If correctly used, it also avoids alterations
in the brewed product. Before starting a descaling cy-
cle make sure that: THE WATER FILTER (if used) HAS BEEN
REMOVED.
Never drink the descaling solution or any prod-
ucts dispensed until the cycle has been carried
out to the end. Never use vinegar as a descaling solu-
tion.
