To clear the DSC error on the Chefman RJ54-SS-15-D machine, you need to perform the descaling process. Follow these steps:

1. Prepare a commercial descaling solution according to the package directions.
2. Add the solution to the water tank.
3. Put the portafilter in place.
4. Place two large cups under the brew head.
5. Run the descaling cycle as instructed in the manual.
6. After descaling, rinse the unit thoroughly as described in step 7 of the descaling instructions.

Properly completing the descaling process will clear the DSC error.
