To resolve the issue of the Elma 8 descaling process being stuck on step 6:

1. Ensure the device is fully depressurised.
2. Open the pressure vessel screw cap.
3. Completely drain the device using the ball valve.
4. After draining, press the rotary knob to continue to step 7.

This should activate step 7 on the gauge. If not, confirm all previous actions were completed correctly.
