Limescale normally builds up with the use of the appliance. Descaling should be performed every 1-2
months, or when indicated by the machine.
Please use Saeco descaling solution in your machine. It has been specifi cally developed to
preserve performance and functionality throughout the lifetime of the machine and to ensure, with regular
use, a high quality delivered product.
Warning! Never use vinegar as a descaling solution.
