Descale the appliance when the orange light on the
ton comes on.
Important!
•
Before use, read the instructions and the labelling on the
descaler pack.
•
You should use De'Longhi descaler only. Using unsuitable
descaler and/or performing descaling incorrectly may re-
sult in faults not covered by the manufacturer's guarantee.
Proceed as follows:
1. (IF PRESENT, REMOVE THE WATER SOFTENER FILTER). Fill
the tank with the descaler solution, obtained by diluting
the descaler provided with water (fill the water tank up to

7. Press the
button to start descaling.
8. The descale programme starts and the descaler liquid
comes out of the water spout. The descale programme
removes limescale deposits from inside the appliance by
automatically performing a series of rinses and pausesuntil
the tank is completely empty.
Please note:
During descaling, to clean the boiler outlet, close the steam dial
from time to time to deliver small quantities of descaler from
the boiler outlet.
9. The appliance stops operation and the orange
light continues to flash, indicating that descaling is still
underway.
10. The appliance is now ready for rinsing through with clean
water. Extract the water tank, empty, rinse under running
water, fill with fresh water up to the MAX level and put
back in the appliance (If used, insert the water softener
filter).
11. Empty the container used to collect the descaler solution

The appliance is ready for use.
Please note!
•
If the descaling cycle is not completed correctly (e.g. no
electricity) we recommend repeating the cycle;
•
If the water tank has not been filled to the MAX level, at the
end of descaling, the appliance requests a further rinse to
guarantee that the descaler solution has been completely
eliminated from the machine's internal circuits.
Repair of damage to the coffee maker caused by limescale is not
covered by the guarantee unless descaling is performed regular-
ly as described above.
