At the end of descaling, the appliance requests a further rinse
Try this solution
Complete the rinse cycle from step 9 of the descaling guide
Potential cause:
During the rinse cycle, the water tank has not been filled to the MAX level.
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.

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.
