DESCALING
The descaling process takes approx. 30 minutes.
Limescale builds up inside the machine during use. It needs to be removed 
regularly as it may clog the water and coff ee circuit of your machine. The 
machine indicates when descaling is needed. If the light is blinking very 
quickly, you need to descale.
 Caution:
Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working prop-
erly, and in this case repair is NOT covered by your warranty.
Use the Saeco decalcifi er only. Its formula has been designed to ensure 
better machine performance. The Saeco decalcifi er (CA6700) may be pur-
chased at the Philips online shop at www.shop.philips.com/service, your 
local dealer or at authorised service centres.

 Remove the water tank and pour the entire content of the Saeco decal-
cifi er. Then fi ll the tank with fresh water up to the MAX level.

 Place the water tank back into the machine.
 Warning:
Never drink the decalcifi er or any products dispensed until the cycle 
has been carried out to the end. Never use vinegar as a decalcifi er.
 Note: 
During the descaling cycle do not switch off  the machine or turn it into the 
stand-by mode. Once you start the descling cycle, you cannot exit until the 
cycle fi nishes.
