Descaling Cycle - Saeco VIA VENEZIA Mode D'emploi

10 DESCALING CYCLE

The formation of limescale inside the appliance is inevi-
table. It is necessary to descale the machine every 3-4
months of use and/or when you notice a reduction in the
water capacity of the appliance.
If you want to descale the machine yourself,
you can use a non-toxic and/or non-harmful
descaling product for coffee machines (commercially
available). We recommend using Saeco descaling
solution.
Caution! Do not use vinegar as a descaler.
• (Fig.2) - Remove and empty the water tank.
• (Fig.3) - Mix the descaling solution with water as specifi ed
on the pack of the descaling product and fi ll the water tank;
insert the tank into the machine.
• (Fig.7) - Turn on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF
switch (18).
• (Fig.8) - Place a container below the steam spout.
• Open the knob (5) to remove, at intervals and one cup at
a time, the whole descaling product. Close the knob (5)
to stop the dispensing.
• (Fig.7) - During each interval allow the descaling solution
to take effect for about 10-15 minutes, disconnecting the
ON/OFF switch (18). Empty the container.
• (Fig.2-3) - When the descaling solution is finished,
extract the water tank, rinse it and fi ll it with fresh drinking
water.
• (Fig.4; Fig.8) - Reinsert the tank in the machine. Open
the knob (5) to empty 2/3 of the water. Close the steam
knob (5) clockwise to stop dispensing.
• Let the machine warm up and empty the water tank as
described above.
If you are using a product other than the
recommended one it is important to always
follow the manufacturer's instructions shown on the
pack of the descaling product.
