DESCALING

Limescale normally builds up with the use
of the appliance.

The machine must be descaled when the
icon appears on the display.

Important Note: It is recom-
mended to refer to the next

section, "Remarks on Descaling", for
some tips about keeping the machine
in perfect working order.

Do not switch off the ma-
chine during the descaling

procedure.

Only use the GAGGIA descal-
ing solution. Its formula has

been designed to ensure better ma-
chine performance and operation for
its whole operating life. If correctly
used, it also avoids alterations in the
brewed product.

Warning! Never drink the des-
caling solution or any prod-

ucts dispensed until the cycle has
been carried out to the end. Never use
vinegar as a descaling solution.

Before descaling, remove the Pannarello
(if supplied) from the steam wand as
described in the "Cleaning and Mainte-
nance" section.

Steady on
