DESCALING
Limescale normally builds up with
the use of the appliance. Use the
GAGGIA descaling product only.
Its formula has been designed to
ensure better machine performance
and operation for its whole operat-
ing life. If correctly used, it also
avoids alterations in the brewed
product. Never use vinegar or other
descaling agents.
Descaling should be performed
every 2 months.
Warning! Never drink the descaling solution or any
products dispensed until the cycle has been carried out
to the end.
1. Remove the filter holder from the unit by turning it
from right to left .
2. Remove and empty the water tank (see the chapter
"Cleaning the water tank").
3. Pour HALF the content of the descaling solution into
the water tank and fill it with fresh water up to the
max level.
4. Turn on the machine by pressing the on / off button
(Fig.1-2)
Dispense 2 cups of water (approximately 150 ml each)
(see chapter "Hot Water Dispensing") from the steam
wand and then another two cups of water (approxi-
mately 150 ml. each) from the coffee brewing unit,
by pressing the coffee button (Fig.1- 1).
Turn off the machine by pressing the on / off button
(Fig.1-2).
5. Let the descaling solution take effect for approxi-
mately 20 minutes with the machine turned off.
6. Turn on the machine by pressing the on / off button
(Fig.1-2).
Dispense 2 cups of water (approximately 150 ml. each)
from the steam wand and then another two cups of
water (approximately 150 ml. each) from the coffee
brewing unit.
Turn off the machine by pressing the on / off button
(Fig.1-2) and leave it off for 3 minutes.
7. Repeat the water dispensing described in step 6, until
the water tank is completely empty.
8. Rinse the water tank and fill it with fresh drinking
