Descaling Semi-Manual
Descaling is as important as changing the oil in your car every 3,000 miles. It is a process that eliminates mineral build up inside your boiler and ensures the machines longevity. For normal household use we recommend descaling at least once every 3 months, depending on the volume of use and hardness of your local water supply. There are many good descaling agents on the market today including Saecos own product: Part number 524000, 3 packets, $4.90 plus $5.90 shipping and handling. Any descaling product used with Saeco machines should be citric based. Do not use vinegar or lemon juice as this will cause damage to the machine. Tip: To ensure that the descaling solution completely dissolves, mix 1 packet of descaling solution with 1 cup of water, stir until powder is completely dissolved and pour into the water tank. Then add additional 3 cups of water.
WARNINGS Do not swallow. Avoid eye contact. Wash hands after use. Do not expose to heat. Keep out of reach of children. This product is non-toxic, biodegradable and odorless.
Step by Step For use with Magic Deluxe. 1. Start with the machine turned off. (1 packet of Saeco descaling solution to 4 cups of water.) 3. Switch the machine to the descaling mode by pressing the steam button, and the medium coffee cup at the same time while turning the machine to the "ON" position. 4.
