Follow the descaling guide below for detailed instructions:
1
Before descaling
Please note:
Before use, read the instructions and the labelling on the descaler pack.
It is important to use De’Longhi descaler only. Using unsuitable descaler and/or performing descaling incorrectly may result in faults not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.
Descaler could damage delicate surfaces. If the product is accidentally spilt, dry immediately.
2
If present, remove the water softener device
Then pour the descaler into the tank up to the level A marked inside the tank.
Level A is equal to one 100 ml packet.

Add water (1 liter) up to the level B
Then put the water tank back in the appliance.
