10 DESCALING
The formation of limescale inside the appliance is
inevitable. It is necessary to descale the machine every
1-2 months of use and/or when you notice a reduction in
the water delivery.
Please use Saeco descaling solution in your
machine (Fig.B). 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! Do not use vinegar as a descaling
solution.
