It is advisable to clean the calcium from the machine
every 300 cups of coffee. It is recommended that
specific (store-bought) products for descaling of
espresso coffee machines be used. If such products are
not available, it is possible to proceed as follows:
1.Fill the tank with water using 1 litre of water;
2.Dissolve 2 spoonfuls (about 30 grams) of citric acid
in the water (available from chemists);

Then stop the flow by turning the selector to the "O"
position. (fig. 18).

around every 40 times it is used. Perform the descaling
operations using the special scale removers for drip
coffee makers available on the market. If such products
are not available, proceed as follows:
