2. Fill the water tank with the descaling solution.
3. Place a large container under the coffee outlets and the steam spout.
4. Run the machine through a brewing cycle without coffee until half of the solution has passed through.

6. Turn off the machine and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
7. Run the remaining solution through the coffee outlets and steam spout until the tank is empty.
8. Rinse the water tank thoroughly and fill it with fresh water.
9. Run two full tanks of fresh water through the machine (one through coffee outlets, one through steam spout) to rinse out any descaling solution residue.
