Descaling
Limescale normally builds up with the use of the appliance. The
machine needs descaling every 1-2 months (if used) and/or
whenever a reduction in water fl ow is noticed. Use the GAGGIA
descaling product only.
NOTE: Use the GAGGIA descaling
product only. Its formula has
been designed to ensure better
machine performance and ope-
ration for its whole operating
life. If correctly used, it also
avoids alterations in the brewed
product. The descaling solution
is to be disposed of according to
the manufacturer’s instructions
and/or regulations in force in
the country of use.
NOTE: Never drink the descaling solution or any products
dispensed until the cycle has fi nished. Never use vinegar
as a descaling solution.
