DESCALING - DISPOSAL

DESCALING
Limescale normally forms with the use of the appliance.
Descaling is necessary every 1 - 2 months or if you notice a
reduction in water fl ow.
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
product. 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.
Warning! 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.
Before descaling, remove the Pannarello from the steam
wand as described in the "Cleaning and Maintenance"
section.
1 Pour the entire content of the Saeco concentrated desca-
ling solution into the water tank (7), and then fi ll the tank
with fresh drinking water up to the MAX level.
2 Turn on the machine at the main power button (5).
3 (Fig.26) - Using the steam wand, (12) brew 2 cups of
descaling solution (approx. 150 ml each) as described in
section 7 "HOT WATER DISPENSING".
4 Disconnect the machine at the main power button (5).
5 Allow the descaling solution to take eff ect for about 15-20
minutes.
6 Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 at intervals of 3 minutes, until
there is no descaling solution left in the water tank.
7 Make sure the machine is on.
8 (Fig.25) - Rinse the water tank (7) and fi ll it with fresh
water.
9 (Fig.26) - Rinse the appliance circuits with fresh water
until the tank (7) is empty, by dispensing the water
through the steam wand (12) as described in section 7
"HOT WATER DISPENSING".
10 Repeat the rinse cycle (step 8 and 9) twice consecutively.
Only once reached this step, the descaling cycle is complete.
Note: if required, prime the circuit (Section
4.3).
The descaling solution must be disposed of
according to the manufacturer's instructions
and/or regulations in force in the country of use.
