Steam light flashing orange? Do this now! Delonghi Dedica EC685.

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.

I just bought one for 20 dollars that needed descaling, the owner was a girl who thought it was broken LOL, I just descaled it and I'm enjoying a nice hot cappuccino!

Hi I’ve got the same machine I must be doing the cycle wrong as it’s still flashing orange on mine

[@kaffipausen]

Hi. Most commonly overseen, is that after the descaling prosess is stopped, you have to refill the water canister and push the steam button once more to start the rinsing cycle. Secondly the remember to turn the steam knob up in the brewing position again. Try to do the whole cycle again just with water.

Hi I did descaling completely wrong I filled the water tank with solution then I was basically turning dial and pressing button to make coffee then putting it back to steam position. I did it like this the whole tank then realised I was doing it wrong. Eventually I did descaling correctly however Im still not sure If my coffee would not have some of the solution 😭 can anyone please tell me is it safe to make a coffee? 😅
