DESCALING
Limescale normally builds up with the use
of the appliance.
The machine must be descaled when the
icon appears on the display.
Do not turn the machine o
or put it in stand-by mode
during the descaling process.
Use the GAGGIA descaling
solution only. Its formula
has been designed to ensure better
performance and operation for the
machine's entire working life. A correct use of the solution also avoids
alterations in the brewed product.
Warning! Never drink the
descaling solution or any
products dispensed until the cycle
is complete. Never use vinegar as a
descaling solution.
Before descaling the machine, perform
the following operations:
- remove the Pannarello (if supplied)
from the steam wand as described
in the "Cleaning and Maintenance"
chapter;
- empty the drip tray. Place it back in the
machine before proceeding.
1 Place a large container under the
dispensing spout.
Turn the machine o by pressing the
"STAND-BY" button. Wait for the
machine to complete the rinse
process.
Warning! Remove the "Intenza" lter before adding the
descaling solution.
Note: should the containers
ll up, temporarily suspend
the dispensing process in order to
empty the containers.
If descaling solution and/or water
spills out of the dispensing spout:
PAUSE: turn the selector switch to the
"
" position;
START: turn the selector switch to the
"
" position.
If descaling solution and/or water
spills out of the steam wand:
PAUSE: turn the selector switch to the
"

concentrated descaling solution into

drinking water up to the MAX level.
Place the tank back into the machine.

“
