4. Fill the water tank to the maximum level with the descaling solution, making sure the solution is completely dissolved.
5. Press the button to dispense the descaling water as you normally would for a coffee, and repeat the operation several times to empty the water tank completely.
6. Repeat the process with another tank of water mixed with the descaling liquid.
7. Repeat the process to flush the internal circuit with a tank of clean water (without descaling solution) to completely clean the pipes.
