2. Fill Water Tank: Pour the descaling solution into the water tank.
3. Run Cycles: Place a large container under the group head and steam wand. Run several brewing cycles (without coffee) and steam cycles until half of the solution is used.
4. Rest: Turn off the machine and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
5. Complete Descaling: Turn the machine back on and run the remaining solution through the machine.
6. Rinse: Rinse the water tank thoroughly and fill it with fresh water. Run several full tanks of fresh water through the machine to flush out any remaining descaling solution.
