3. OPERATION	MAGIC

Descaling procedure:

1.Place Saeco descaler into fresh water tank.

2.Fill with about one litre of hot water.

3.Make 2-3 coffees to descale coffee circuit.

4.Remove the remaining descaler mixture in cupfuls via the hot water pressure valve in intervals of about 5 – 10 min (turn machine off during this process).

5.Rinse the machine with about 2 litres of fresh water. Make 2-3 coffees to rinse coffee circuit (brewing unit filer(s) must be cleaned before descaling).
