DESCALING

Limescale normally builds up with the use

of the appliance.

The machine must be descaled when the

icon appears on the display.

Important note: It is recom-

mended to refer to the next

section, “Remarks on Descaling”, for

some tips about keeping the machine

in perfect working order.

Do not turn the machine o or

put it in stand-by mode during

the descaling process.

Only use the GAGGIA descaling

solution. Its formula has been

designed to ensure better machine

performance and operation for its

whole operating life. If correctly used,

it also avoids alterations in the brewed

product.

Warning! Never drink the

descaling solution or any

products dispensed until the cycle

has been carried out to the end. Never

use vinegar as a descaling solution.

Before descaling, remove the Pannarello

(if supplied) from the steam wand as

described in the “Cleaning and Mainte-

nance” section.

• Turn the machine on by pressing the

“STAND-BY” button. Wait for the

machine to finish its rinse cycle

and warm up.

Warning! Remove the “In-

tenza”  lter before adding the

descaling solution.

• Pour the entire content of the GAGGIA

concentrated descaling solution into

the water tank, and then  ll the tank

with fresh drinking water up to the

MAX level. Place the tank back in the

machine.

1 Place a container below the steam

wand.

Use a container of at least

1 litre capacity. If you do

not have a container of this capac-

ity, once it is  lled close the knob,

empty the container and then place

it again under the wand and repeat

the procedure.

2 Only after adding the descaling solution

in the tank, turn the selector switch

clockwise to position “

”, and then

dispense 2-3 cups of water (approx.

150 ml).

water tank thoroughly and re ll it with

fresh drinking water.

7 Empty the container used to collect the

liquid dispensed by the machine and

place it under the steam wand.

solution left in the water tank.
