How should you descale your Delonghi espresso machine, and how do you do it? I show in this video how I descale my Delonghi Dedica machine with a citric based descaling solution. The process is quite easy, if you follow the instructions. Since it is a lot of text to read in the manual, I made this video.

Descale the machine when the orange light
comes on.
1. Turn the machine on.
2. Completely empty the water tank (A) and
remove the water filter (if present).
3. Fill the tank with the descaler solution obtained
by diluting the descaler (B) with water (C): fill the
water tank up to the MAX level.

capacity of 50 oz under the hot water spout and
brewing unit.

The lights will blink in sequence. You are now in
the setting menu.

performs a series of deliveries at intervals to
remove the lime scale from inside the coffee
machine.
7. From time to time turn the steam dial to the
position to deliver small quantities of
descaler from the brewing unit.
8. Once the water tank is empty, the orange light
starts blinking.
9. To remove the solution and lime scale residues,
rinse the tank and fill it with fresh water (without
descaler); empty the containers and place them
under the boiler outlet and hot water spout.
10. Turn the steam dial to the position and
press the button to start the rinsing.
11. From time to time turn the steam dial to the
position to deliver small quantities of
water from the boiler outlet.
12. Once the water tank is empty, turn the steam dial
to position.
The appliance is now ready for use.

problems are not covered by the warranty if the
