HOW TO Descale the Delonghi Magnifica Evo Next

Brief Summary

This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to descale a De'Longhi Magnifica Evo espresso machine. It emphasizes the importance of descaling to remove mineral buildup and maintain the machine's longevity. The process involves using the De'Longhi descaler, following the machine's prompts, rinsing thoroughly, and refilling with fresh water.

  • Use De'Longhi descaler for proper concentration.
  • Descale regularly to prevent mineral buildup and prolong machine life.
  • Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of descaling solution.

Introduction

The video introduces a guide on descaling the De'Longhi Magnifica Evo espresso machine. The presenter aims to provide a concise demonstration of the descaling process. The presenter recommends using the De'Longhi descaler to ensure the correct concentration and type of descaling liquid is used.

Initial Steps and Descaling Process

The machine indicates that it is time to descale, estimating the process to take 25 minutes. The initial steps involve emptying the drip tray and grounds container, followed by emptying the water tank. The descaler is added to the water tank up to level A, and then water is added to level B. A 2-liter container is placed under both spouts to collect the descaling solution as it runs through the machine.

Importance of Descaling

The descaling process will take some time as the descaler runs through the machine. Descaling is important because water contains minerals that can build up inside the machine's tubing, potentially rendering it useless. Regular descaling helps break up and remove these mineral deposits, extending the machine's lifespan.

Rinsing the Water Tank

After the descaling solution has run through, the next step is to rinse the water tank and fill it to the maximum level. The used descaling solution is discarded, and the water tank is filled with fresh water to the max level. Ensuring enough water is used for rinsing is important to remove all traces of the descaling solution.

First Rinse Cycle

Before proceeding with the rinse cycle, it's important to ensure the drip tray is empty. The machine is then set to rinse, and the water runs through the system.

Second Rinse Cycle

After the first rinse, the water tank needs to be filled with fresh water again to the max level. The rinse water from the first cycle is discarded, including emptying the drip tray. The tank is refilled, and a container is placed under the spouts for the second rinse cycle.

Completion and Final Steps

Once the second rinse is complete, the collected water is emptied, and the drip tray is emptied and reinserted along with the grounds container. The machine indicates that descaling is completed. The water tank is filled with fresh, filtered water, ensuring the flow sensor is raised. A water filter can be added at this point if desired.

Final Thoughts

The machine is now descaled and ready for use. Links to purchase the descaler and other related products will be provided in the description box.

0:00 In this video, I'm going to show you how to descale the Dongi Magnifica Evo. Next, I'm going to try to show you as shortly and succinctly as I can. Now, first of all, I've got the descaler right here. This is the Dongi descaler. I do recommend you use the Dongi descaler so that you have the right concentration and the right kind of descaling liquid. Now, let's take a look. All right, so you can see it's telling me it's time to descale. Ready to start? 25 minutes it should take. Okay, let's do it. So, it's going to guide me through it. First of all, we have to empty the drip tray and grounds container. Okay, we can move on. Please empty the water tank.

0:45 All right, time to move on. Add the long scaler up to level A and top up with water up to level B. So, here's level A, and we're filling up to level B. It's important to fill up to the right levels. Place 2 L container under both spouts. Ready? Let's go. [Music] All right. Now, this process is going to take a while for it to run through all the descaler. We'll see you in a little bit when it's all finished. By the way, why are we descaling? Well, water has a

1:32 ton of minerals in it. And if you don't descale, if you don't break up and extrude those minerals out of the tubing lines in the machine, you can render the machine useless. Just take a look at what it does here to our water kettle. My goodness. So, that is the reason that you have to this scale. Do it on a regular basis and your machine will last a long time. And by the way, guys, if you're getting any value out of this video, do me two favors. Number one, give it a like. And number two, subscribe to the video so I know to make more like this in the future. Okay, step six. We got to rinse the water tank and fill it up to level max. First, we got to dump our scaling solution. [Music]

2:22 And now we're going to fill it to level max right here. This is important to make sure that we get enough water to rinse all the way through or it might request you to do it again. I would also suggest making sure there's nothing here in the drip tray before we proceed. I also like to support this with a sponge and we can go on to the next step to rinse. All right, now it's finally finished rinsing with water. So, it says time to fill the fresh time to fill the water tank with fresh water. But first, we got

3:07 to dump our rinse water here. So, that out of the way to make sure to dump out the drip tray because it does also rinse a bit into the drip tray as you can see there. Okay. So, now it is time to refill the tank again with water up to the max level. Okay, I did it. Let's place our container under the spouts again and go for our second rinse. Okay, our second rinse is finished. So, let's empty that. Now, it's asking, can you empty the drip tray? Let's do it.

3:57 Please insert grounds, container, and drip tray. All righty. Did it. Good. Dcale completed. We did it. And next, we just have to fill up the tank with fresh water. So for this I use Brida filtered water since I need Brida filtered water anyway for my water kettle. [Applause] Okay, so for the fresh filtered water, you just got to make sure that that sensor there, the flow sensor has been raised. And I'll stick that back in the machine. It's at this point, by the way, that you could also put a water filter in there if you're going to buy water filters from Dongi, but I filter my water first. Okay, good to go. All right, so there we

4:45 are, guys. We got the machine all this scaled. It's going to be good to go for the future. Ready to rock for more coffees. Hope you guys have a good day. And if you need to look for any of this stuff, this discaler or whatever, I will put some links in the description box down below. Have a good day, guys. Bye now.
