10 DESCALING
Limescale builds up with the use of the appliance; the machine
needs descaling every 1-2 months and/or whenever a reduction
in water fl ow is noticed. Use the Saeco descaling solution only.
In case of confl ict, priority must be given
to what is indicated in the operation and
maintenance manual over the instructions provided on
separately sold accessories and materials.
Use the Saeco descaling solution (Fig.B).
Its formula has been designed to ensure
better machine performance and operation for its
whole operating 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
products dispensed until the cycle has been
carried out to the end. Never use vinegar as a descaling
solution.
