2. Fill the water tank with the descaling solution.
3. Place a large container under the portafilter and steam wand.
4. Turn on the machine and run about half of the solution through the coffee brewing cycle.
5. Then, run the remaining half of the solution through the steam wand.
6. Turn off the machine and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
7. Empty the water tank and rinse it thoroughly.
8. Refill the water tank with fresh water and run several full tanks of clean water through both the brewing head and steam wand to rinse out any descaling solution residue.
