Descaling procedure

Please use Philips descaler only. Under no circumstances should you use a descaler based on sulfuric
acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfamic or acetic acid (vinegar) as this may damage the water circuit in your
machine and not dissolve the limescale properly. Not using the Philips descaler will void your
warranty. Failure to descale the appliance will also void your warranty. You can buy Philips descaling
solution in the online shop at www.saeco.com/care.
