How do I descale my Magnifica Evo ECAM29X.6Y / 29X.8Y?

Created: April 2, 2024

Descaling is required when the "descale“ red light comes on the display. The frequency of descaling depends on the hardness of the water in your area.

It is always recommended to use the De’Longhi Water Filter, perform the water hardness test and use our eco-friendly descaling solution, De’Longhi EcoDecalk

The descaling procedure takes around 30 minutes to complete, so be sure to have enough time to finish the process.

Step 2: First rinse

During descaling, close the steam dial from time to time to deliver small quantities of descaler from the coffee spouts to clean the coffee circuit.

Step 3 and 4:

Please note: 

·        After descaling, it is normal for the ground container to contain water.

(*) If the water tank has not been filled to the MAX level, at the end of descaling, the appliance requests a third rinse to guarantee that the descaler solution has been eliminated from the machine's internal circuits. In this instance, repeat step 3 from point 11.
