Descaling is essential to remove mineral deposits that build up over time, ensuring proper machine function and coffee quality. The frequency depends on water hardness and usage. The machine will indicate when descaling is needed (refer to your machine's specific descaling light indicator).

Use De'Longhi EcoDecalk descaler (DLSC500) for best results. This ecological descaler is made with natural raw materials and is highly effective.
