10 DESCALING THE MACHINE

Limescale normally builds up with the use of the appliance. Descaling should be performed every 1-2 months, or when indicated by the machine.

Please use Saeco descaling solution in your machine. It has been specifically developed to preserve performance and functionality throughout the lifetime of the machine and to ensure, with regular

use, a high quality delivered product.

Warning! Never use vinegar as a descaling solution.
