10 DESCALING
The formation of limescale inside the appliance is inevitable.
It is necessary to descale the machine every 1-2 months of use
and/or when you notice a reduction in the water delivery. Use
the Saeco descaling product only.
In case of confl ict, priority must be given to
what is indicated in the operation and mainte-
nance manual over the instructions provided on sepa-
rately sold accessories and materials.
Use the Saeco descaling product (Fig. B). Its for-
mula has been designed to ensure better ma-
chine performance and operation for its whole operat-
ing life. If correctly used, it also avoids alterations in the
brewed product. Before starting a descaling cycle make
sure that: THE WATER FILTER (if used) HAS BEEN REMOVED.
Never drink the descaling solution or any prod-
ucts dispensed until the cycle has fi nished.
Never use vinegar as a descaling solution.
