Descaling my Delonghi Dedica EC 685 coffee machine.
If the steam light is flashing orange, the appliance needs descaling.
Lime from the water can clog up the heater, and make repairs unsustainable.
I used the Delonghi Eco Decalk mini descaling fluid, that contains lactic acid.
Danger, read the instructions before using.
The fluid can splash and cause serious eye damage and skin irritation.
Keep children out of way. Keep the descaling fluid out of reach of children.
The correct procedure can be fund in the instructions or at Delonghi help center, "support dedica Steam-light-flashing".
You will need, descaling fluid, one bowl and one waterglass. Danger, the water is hot.
Calculate 45 minutes for the descaling and rinsing procedure.
To start:
1. Press the orange steam button for about 5 seconds until the three buttons lights double flash white in sequence
2. Put the steam knob downwards.
3. Press the steam button shortly again, and the steam wand will begin squinting water.
4. To start the rinsing after the descaling have stopped, press the steam button once.
5. After rinsing have stopped, put the steam knob upwards, and the button lights will go back to normal.
