14. DESCALING
Important!
•
Before use, read the instructions and the labelling on the
descaler pack.
•
Use only descaler supplied by De'Longhi. Using unsuitable
descaler and/or performing descaling incorrectly may re-
sult in faults not covered by the manufacturer's guarantee.
•
Descaler could damage delicate surfaces. If the product is
accidentally spilt, dry immediately.

the spouts (fig. 40). Press "Done" to start the procedure;
Important! Danger of scalding
Hot water containing acid flows out of the spouts. Accordingly,
take care to avoid contact with this solution.
11. The descale programme starts and the descaler solution
comes out of the hot water spout and the coffee spout; a
succession of rinses is performed automatically at set in-
tervals to remove the scale residues from inside the coffee
machine;
After about 15 minutes, the descaling action ceases;
12. The appliance is now ready to be rinsed out with clean
(C3) as a
water. Empty the container used to collect the descaler
solution. Remove the water tank from the machine, empty
it and rinse under running water, then fill with clean water
up to the MAX level and reposition it in the machine (fig.
41). Press "Next";
13. Having emptied the container used previously to collect
the descaler solution, reposition it under the spouts and
press "Yes" to start the rinse sequence;
14. Hot water is released both from the hot water spout and
from the coffee spout;
