The formation of limescale inside the appliance is inevi-
table. It is necessary to descale the machine every 3-4
months of use and/or when you notice a reduction in the
water capacity of the appliance.
If you want to descale the machine yourself,
you can use a non-toxic and/or non-harmful
descaling product for coffee machines (commercially
available). We recommend using Saeco descaling
solution.
Caution! do not use vinegar as a descaler.
