Decalcifying
Water carries minerals and impurities that can clog the internal plumbing and effect the heating time, heating process,
performance and overall taste of the coffee brewed from your machine. We recommend that every 3 months you decalcify
your machine to remove this build up and keep your machine brewing smoothly. To decalcify your Saeco Venus, we recommend
using the Saeco brand of decalcifier. You can purchase Saeco decalcifier at www.saeco-usa.com or call Saeco Customer Service
at 800-933-7876. You may use coffeemaker cleaner, which may be available at your local grocery store. Please note that NO
coffee is to be used during this process.
The steps are as follows:
1. Fill the water reservoir with 40 ounces of water, pour the descaling solution
directly into the water reservoir.
2. Place the assembled thermal carafe into the brewing area. Be sure to push the carafe
all the way into the unit to trigger the carafe control sensor.
3. Plug in the machine. Turn ON the "On/Off" Button. The blue light next to the "On/Off" Button will illuminate,
and the solution will begin to brew into the thermal carafe.
4. When approximately half of the solution has run through, then turn the "On/Off" Button OFF.
Allow the remaining solution to sit in the water tank reservoir to soak for 15 to 30 minutes.
Turn ON the "On/Off Button and allow the remaining solution to run through the machine.
The machine will automatically turn off when all of the solution has been brewed through the machine.
5. Remove the carafe from the coffeemaker, unscrew the lid and discard the solution. Allow the machine to cool for
at least 15 minutes. Wash and rinse the thermal carafe.
6. Refill the water tank reservoir with 40oz of fresh water; replace the thermal carafe with lid turned until it reaches
the locked position, then run water through for a full cycle.
7. Discard the water and allow the machine to cool for at least 15 minutes.
Repeat step 6 to ensure that all solution is rinsed out of the brewing unit.
