First of all thank you for the video. Happy to have a manufacturer's instruction as they know their machines best. A few improvements for the video: - PLEASE remove this extremely annoying music. At least while you are talking. It makes certain things really hard to understand and is insanely annoying after a few minutes. - Don't make us watch the machine heating up repeatedly - > cut the video - Keep the essentials (no need to watch the same procedure 4 times) - > add a repeat description and cut the video

Hello! Thank you for the suggestions, very appreciated. We will take them into consideration for future contents! LELIT Team

I enjoyed the music personally, dancing while descaling is a must. Worked well on my Lelit Bianca

Great video, thank you. Made wonders to my Lelit Bianca. Important to note - although the Pully descaler box says to put the 125ml liquid into 400ml of water, DO NOT do this, use the instructions as in this video - 125ml of liquid into 2 liters of water. I agree about the music being unnecessary but I appreciate that you should the full 4 cycles to prevent any confusion and allowing me to go step by step with the video paused.

Here is the summary: If water runs out, add new water. If steam pressure gets to high, open steam wand 1. Add 2l of water and descaling mix 2. Repeat the following 3 times: 2.1 Heat up the machine 2.2 Get 0,5l from the group 2.3 Turn off the machine and open the hot water tap until it stops 2.4 Turn it on again and let it heat it up 3. Repeat the following with 4 full tanks 3.1 Fill the tank with 2l fresh water 3.2 Heat up the machine 3.3 Get 0,5l from the group 3.4 Turn off the machine and open the hot water tap until it stops And you are done!

[@LELIT_Official]

Hello, thank you for your comment.

[@iknowit3705]

​@LELIT_Official 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sAmiZZle82]

I think the reason is because there could be components that need checking and replacement within the group at the yearly service interval. Also, descaling can obviously result in scale being removed from the boiler and this has the potential to block the tiny holes (jigleur) in the group, which can prevent the machine from operating correctly. I'd say unless you are happy to take the risk and hope it all works ok, or otherwise confident in diagnosising blockage issues at the boiler or group it is not something you should do yourself... Ultimately you can try it yourself and fall back on your service technician if something goes wrong. However, as mentioned if they know you did this yourself it'll void your warranty and you'll likely have to be prepared to pay for service fees.

[@Christian-th1pn]

You mention to pull 0.5 Liter from the group but looking at your bucket you only pull 0.25 Liter. Now, what is correct?

[@esbenrasmussen4289]

The descaling agent works 20 times faster when heated up. This is a maintenance procedure on machine that costs over 1000 USD. Anyone who pays this much for a coffee machine can pay the dollars it would cost even in the most expensive regions. In my country it would have cost me 1 USD just after the Ukraine war when the price for electricity went up 4 times. Also the steam boiler needs the pressure from the steam to empty the water out

IMPORTANT: Please don't dismiss this question by referring to the support e-mail! This is vital info for correctly descaling the machine. QUESTION: Is that even enough descaling solution in the tank? The packaging reads 125ml per 400ml of fresh water and other instruction video refer to adding both bottles (i.e. 250ml of descaler) to the tank. Getting info on that is very inconsistent.
