DESCALE
Descale the machine when the message
“DESCALE!” flashes on the display.
Important!
Descaler contains acids which may irritate the
skin and eyes.
It is vital to respect the manufacturer’s safety
warnings given on the descaler pack and the
warnings relating to the procedure to follow in
the event of contact with the skin and eyes.
Please note!
Use De’Longhi descaler only.
Under no circumstances should you use

invalidates the guarantee. Failure to descale
the appliance as described also invalidates the
guarantee.
