Descaling
Please use Gaggia descaler only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaler based on sulfuric
acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfamic or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the water circuit in your
machine and not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Gaggia descaler will void your
warranty. Failure to descale the appliance will also void your warranty.
