DESCALING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral
build up in internal components, reducing the
brewing flow, brewing temperature, power of the
machine, and taste of the coffee.
We recommend to descale regularly. When LCD
shows "DESCALE" (flashing), descaling cycle
is needed but the cycle can be performed at
anytime. Descaler is available on the Sage website.
NOTE
It takes approximately 33 minutes to complete
descaling cycle.
1. Empty the water tank and remove the water
filter.
2. Prepare a descale solution in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions. Pour this solution
into the empty water tank , do not exceed MAX
marking.
3. Place the basket and the carafe into position
under the drip stop outlet, Ensure the carafe
is empty and the lid is securely locked.
4. Navigate SETTINGS menu to DESCALE.
Press SELECT dial to start the cycle. The time
remaining will display on the LCD.
5. When the descaling process is finished, the
LCD screen will go back to the main menu.
To completely remove residual water in the
tank, brew with fresh water twice. Discard the
water from the carafe and rinse thoroughly.
NOTE
We recommend to brew through again after
descaling to brew out the residue descale solution.
NOTE
You cannot stop the descaling process mid cycle.
Force stop by unplugging the cord from the
power outlet.

This will reset the machine to the factory settings,
including water hardness setting. Hold the START
button, the SELECT button, and AUTO START
button altogether for 3 seconds. When LCD shows
"rES" (flashing), press SELECT button to start.
