11 DESCALING
Limescale builds up with the use of the appliance; the machine
needs descaling every 1-2 months and/or whenever a reduc-
tion in water ow is noticed. Use the Saeco descaling product
only.
In case of con ict, priority must be given to
what is indicated in the operation and mainte-
nance manual over the instructions provided on sepa-
rately sold accessories and materials.
Use the Saeco descaling product (Fig. B). Its
formula has been designed to ensure better
machine performance and operation for its whole op-
erating life. If correctly used, it also avoids alterations
in the brewed product. Before starting a descaling cy-
cle make sure that: THE WATER FILTER (if used) HAS BEEN
REMOVED.
Never drink the descaling solution or any prod-
ucts dispensed until the cycle has been carried
out to the end. Never use vinegar as a descaling solu-
tion.
