When the descaling indicator light flashes, it is time to descale the machine using a specialized descaling agent. 

• The white deposits you often see in kettles are formed during the process of calcification caused by heating water. Similarly, in coffee machines, calcium and magnesium in the water will build up inside the machine's heating element. If not cleaned, this will diminish the flavor and stability of the brewed coffee. Therefore, regular descaling of the machine is necessary.
• Use Cafetto® Renew Espresso Machine Descaler.

1. Turn on the machine.

2. Empty the water tank.

3. Pour the descaling solution mixed with water into the water tank. Place an empty container with a capacity of at least 1.5 liters under the hot water spout.

4. Wait until the indicator lights for the Espresso buttons (Single and Double Shot) are steadily lit.

5. Press and hold the Descale button for at least 5 seconds to confirm the start of the descaling process.

6. During descaling, the lights on the button will remain lit to indicate that the descaling program is in progress.

7. Turn the steam wand counterclockwise. The descaling solution will flow out through the steam wand into the container below.

8. The descaling program will automatically perform a series of rinses and will stop automatically to remove lime scale inside the machine.

9. After about 20 minutes, the water tank will be empty and the light will turn on. Turn the steam wand clockwise as far as it will go.
