Update: Hi Everyone, UA-cam reached out to me with copywrite violation. This music came free with an app and I didn't know that just because it came with a software, doesn't mean that I can use it on youtube and monetize them. UA-cam's automated system removed background music but the sound quality was dropped as well. I'm sorry about that. If you always came back to this video at every descale and can't stand the sound quality, please let me know that I need to make another video covering the same thing - Навчання та стиль
My go to video every time my Magnifica needs to be descaled. Thank you.
Thank you for your warm comment. This is good way to start morning :)
same :)
Yep 👍
Me too!
Yep! Same here! Thank you!
Every single time I need to decal my coffee machine, I see your video. Really helpful! A big thank you again.😊
Thank you for your comment!
This was extremely helpful! All the other videos I watched did not mention that the machine paused for so long between cycles. I had always assumed it was finished and would be surprised when I turned my machine off and then back on and the light would be blinking again. Thank you for explaining this.
I’m glad you found this video helpful. Enjoy nice cup of coffee!
After several years of ownership, you think I would know how to descale my Magnifica XS….but I still go back to your video every time! Thanks for a great and informative video!
Thank you, same here
Joe, thank you very much for this detailed video. Every time I need to descale my Delonghi I watch your step by step video. Nobody else would explain better. You are the Best!!!
thank you so much for your compliment! Im glad my video is helpful, please come back and on next descale
Just descaling now😊
Thanks again😌
So helpful. Thank you for being so thorough and detailed. Love the orange cup too!
Glad it was helpful! thank you for watching
Thank you for putting this clear explanation in a video for dealing our Delonghi’s XS safety!
Each year when I have to do the descale, I get back to your video ! :D
Thank you so much for coming back!
I've watched your video so many times you'd think I'd know what to do without looking again, but no......I watch it every time I want to clean my machine.
No need to feel bad. I go back to my own video every time I need to descale
I wish all the instructional videos were as detailed and simple to follow as this video. Great job 👍! Thank you!
thank you for the nice comment
@@JoeKnowTech you’re very welcome sir. Your meticulous work is appreciated by many here.
Subscribed ✅👍🙂
Can’t remember if I commented on this before but I use this video every time I need to descale. Thanks so much for making this video!
Thank you so much for your comment!
Joe! Great video! You explained the process so well. I wish I found this video when I bought my machine a year ago.
Thank you for your time. I even watch this video every time I decade lol
Thank you! I use your video every time i descale my magnifica S. Exactly what I need. Regards!
FallingStar thank you for the comment
Thanks for posting. I found your video online a lot easier than the manual.
Thank you for your comment!
A great video. Thanks for putting this together. I have watched other videos that make no sense. Yours is concise and easy. This is the only descale video anyone needs.
Thank you so much for the compliment! I'm glad you found my video helpful
Thank you for this great video. Answers all the questions about descaling :)
Great easy to understand rescaling demonstration. Thank you so much.
Graeme Edgar thank you for leaving a positive comment👍👍
Thank you so much for your vid. I watched the other vids and they were not so clear. Yay!
Thank you! The only descaling guide I need. ❤
Such soothing music every time I descale.
thank you!
Thanks for doing this. I hate reading manuals!
More than a year later I’m still watching this. However I do feel like I know what to do now (I’ll say that but we will find out in a few months lol)
Thank you, its helped. Wish you nice day!
Thank you for the video mate!
Really helped me out with this one.
Thank you for watching, I’m glad it helped
Same here in Czech Republic 👋
This is very helpful. Thank you so much!!
Thanks Joe! This was so easy to follow and also quite relaxing! Great Job
Thank you for your kind comment
Thank you for the video. It is really helpful.
Expresorul meu este nou, îl am de cinci săptămâni, îmi arată că trebuie decalcifiat, mi se pare prea devreme decalcifierea, mulțumesc pentru video, este foarte util 😘
So helpful. Thank you!! 💖
Very well explained and demonstrate!
My water came cold should be hot ?
Very useful and informative thank you s much fr taking the time to prodcue.
Thanks Joe!
Very helpfull mate, thx a lot. We all need good coffee. Many times aday.
Some say when it ask for water - turn off the left knob - some say just replace the water in the tank. Maybe different models have different sequense 🤔 Mine Magnifica S expels water from both outlets during descale. It only clears light if i toggle the left knob when refilling.
Great video , love the timer, these machines are quirky.thanks And, where did you get that beautiful orange coffee cup.
Thank you for watching my video and leaving a nice comment. We picked up that coffee cup from Anthropology store
Its easy to understand😄thank you
best yet. Thank you
Matthew Lewis thanks for your kind words😁
Awesome job. Thanks a lot. :-)
Excellent video
Thank you very much for the help!
thank you for your nice comment!
Great video! Thanks.
Thank you!
Very useful
Great video you have saved my life
Glad I could help, thank you
Very Helpful Thank you!..
Can you do a video on using grounded coffee powder when using the XS? Thanks.
Great Video, Thank you, I get the red light flashing every 10-12 days ( about 30-50 cups) Not sure but I think that is a little excessive for descaling particularly as I only use filtered water.
Wow, that's pretty fast, how long have you used it? did it flash that often since beginning?
@@JoeKnowTech Picked up last November and love it, although it flashed every 2 weeks, I think I have worked it out that the water hardness was set to high, I have adjusted it in the set up and will see how long before it flashes again :) The up side is that I have descaled it thoroughly every 2 weeks since I have had it. Will report back and let you know :) Cheers Paul
Great video thanks
Thank you
1. Deacale process in this sequence:
2. Normal power on cycle
3. Power off
4. Empty the trays
5. Put back trays
6. Remove water holder
7. Remove the filter
8. Add descaler solution
9. Fill the rest with water, until the first line
10. Put back the water holder
11. Put bowls in place
12. Turn on the machine
13. Long press red flashing light
14. Turn steam knob all the way on (cycle 1)
15. Wait 20 minutes, until water holder is empty
16. Turn off steam knob
17. Empty the bowls
18. Refill water holder, until the first line, then put it back into the machine
19. Replace the bowls
20. Turn on steam knob (cycle 2)
21. When all the water is used, turn off the steam knob.
22. Empty the bowls
23. Refill water holder, until the first line, then put it back into the machine
24. Replace the bowls
25. Turn on steam knob (cycle 3)
26. When the steam light flashes, turn off the steam knob. The red light should now be off.
27. Remove the water holder, replace the filter
28. Refill water holder, until the second line
29. Put back the water holder
30. Put back the bowls
31. Power off the machine
32. Remove and empty the bowls
33. Fill up the coffee beans holder
Not sure where you got the steps but #3 power off doesn’t sound right to me
Thanks Joe for your clear descaling instructions. I have a problem with Magnifica - once coffee starts brewing, won't stop automatically as it use to. Did you have this kind of problem? If yes, how did you fix it please.
Oh no, sorry to hear that you're having that problem. I haven't heard about that problem before. I'd make sure all buttons are not stuck and clean infuser area and try to adjust coffee mill and coffee taste knobs and see if there's any difference in amount of water. sorry I don't have an answer but it sounds better than pump not working at all
Thank you
Thanks, I am new user of this coffee machine.
I would be happy if you can clarify if I use RO water, will it help reducing the calcium build up and thereby reduce the decal periods. Thanks
Hello, thank you for watching my video. I’m no expert but I googles and see that RO water will eliminate the need to descale. However, you might want to check if your machine has any copper or brass tube in it since RO water can be corrosive when it touches Copper or Brass
First time blow water to coffe machine too :)
Thanks👍👍👍
After 3 months for using every day, cames again this! :)
Thank you for the instructing I have completed the procedure and rinsed about TEN TIMES and the red light remains on, can you please advise on this problem
Robert Cook
Hello Robert, thank you for watching and leaving comment. Some have reported that following direction from the beginning and use just water instead of descale solution worked including myself. Are you saying you've followed descale process for 10 times and still not working or was the machine going through rinsing cycle for 10 times for 1 descale cycle?
I have a problem my machine is MAGNIFICA S. I GET TO THE PROCESS AND THE LIGTH STAY FLASHING IN RED I DONT KNIW WHAT TO DO?????? Do you have any suggestions my machine is new. Thank you MV
I'd try doing the whole process over, but use water instead of the descale solution
o
It works with out te solution that you put in the water?
Toma Madalin I would think you can do it without the solution if you just wanna turn off indicator light but if you wanna use it for long run, why not use solution and maintain the machine?
Please help! Have just descaled my coffee machine but once again according to your instructions and the red light has not turned off! What can I do ?
I would advise you to repeat this same step but this time, use plain water instead of the descale solution
I watch your video every time I want to clean my machine but the red light flashes constantly.
Thank you for coming back to my video. If it flashes red light even right after descale, try going through another cycle of descale with just water only
The yellow steam light on top righthand side keeps blinking after I have followed your instructions????
Hi, what happens if you turn it off and turn back on?
Thanks.
Vote or Die.
Blessings In Love,

THE SCALING LIGHT
STAYS ON
I HAVE FOLLOWED 3 times the descaling procedure ----- THE SCALING LIGHT
STAYS ON ---- i cleaned also all the other components ==== sure i am
missing something --- I can still have a coffee cup tomorrow morning ==
Have a nice day == Alexis == Thailand

oh wow I'm sorry to hear that. I can understand how frustrating it is... Sorry I can't help you other than asking you to try step by step slowly with only with pure water so you don't have to waste money on descale solution
@@JoeKnowTech Thank you --- i will do again ---
YES IT WORKED THE SECOND TIME -- WATER ONLY ---thank yo'u
@@alexisfonto5074 wow I’m glad it worked this time, you saved your machine! Congrats
I read that according to DeLonghi the descale should last three months. I use filtered water and they indicate that descaling should likely not even be required, yet the descale light comes on about every ten days after cleaning. Any ideas? This seems ridiculous.
I use filtered water but still descale when light comes on. Where do you read that the descale is not required?
Hi! I have done the entire process of descaling correctly but the red light still doesn’t want to go Off..do YOU know Why??
Same thing happened to me once but Im not sure why. I just went through the rescale cycle with just water and it turned off red light. Thank you for watching my video
Hi still have the same problem, like Alina but you didn't answer her question.
Hi Fiona, sorry for late reply. I thought I replied to her the other day but I guess I didn't press send button. Same thing happened to me once but Im not sure why. I just went through the rescale cycle with just water and it turned off red light. Thank you for watching my video
Why after I done exactly the same procedure the red light is still on
Can , explain how work cup heating shaft
Thank you for your comment. Sorry I didn't get that. Can you elaborate your question?
What happens if i put in the descale solution before automatic cleaning?
Then the sulfur water comes through the coffee spout. You can’t do full drain from the spout like the steam pump does, so it’s harder to get rid of chemical from the tube

Obrigado por assistir
Hi Joe I followed the procedure as per your instructions but the descaling light is still on
What could be problem ? Please guide me
I do not have more descaling liquid with me
I had the same problem before. What you need to do is to try the whole step again with just water only. Thank you for watching.
@@JoeKnowTech thanks for your prompt reply
. I tried the same yesterday it did not work
Let me try again today and will will keep you posted
Hi Joe I tried again but did not work. I might have to get some Delonghi descale and try again to descale. The Delonghi descale is not available. Will have to import it
@@pankajroy283 I see, sorry you have problem with descaling.
@@JoeKnowTech I have the same problem, second time, when clean water needs to go, it goes where coffee goes out, not out of the steam as it did the first time
I use this same process and I use filtered water yet the darn descale light comes on about every ten days....go figure. Anyone else have a similar reaction?
why does my red light keep flashing even after cleaning? All the time
Hi did exactly like you said. But when the second process after wait for 15 mins the water not came out from steam but from middle instead. Do you know why? Thanks
timothy steven it never happened to me before but im wondering if your machine somehow got turned off during the process because it sounds like the cleaning process when the machine turns on and off but i might be wrong
Timothy mine is like yours mine comes out from middle as well please if anyone knows why can you tell us because the decale light keep flashing after descale
@@themachine9999 Same here :(
@@amd313 same here comes out the middle as well and the whole proces goes faster. It's done within 20 minutes and light is stil flashing after cleaning.
@@eltarb67 @makijato veliki: Try this: "The instructions on UA-cam have a problem. They say you need to close the steam off from time to time and it's necessary to descale other parts of the machine but at the same time doing that you interrupt the process and it causes the light to blink after it finishes. So after following the UA-cam instructions one time, what I did, following the instructions of a very kind lady of Delonghi customer service, was start the process again (using just water) without closing the steam until the water tank is empty, and then rinse twice with water until the pump quits on its own. The machine has to be on all the time. That reset the light for sure"
thanks for the video but i got late .. i made the try from another video and went wrong ;/(when i get new medicine i will do yours)
.. can we do it the descale without the machine asking it ;
Hello, I'm not sure if you can descale without the machine asking for descale but if you didn't do the descale properly, it usually keeps asking until you do it right.
I did that and it the light still her
Also my machine during the second time with clean water it drops the water from the middle and not from cappuccino nozzle
That's strange, did you happen to do the first cycle and leave it on for long time after all the water has been dropped? Anyways, I'd try to do the cycle again with just water only if that happens to me.
@@JoeKnowTech no I was next to the machine and I did the process how you explained but nothing the light is still on and the second cycle all three times comes out from the coffee nozzle and not the capuchino nozzle. Anyway thanks and happy new year
can I descale before the red light flashes...? The new owner of old machine want to clean it....thanks.
I haven't tried it but I'd say try it. sorry for late response
@Hayden-sp1ol Hi 😊 I was wondering if you had success doing a descale before the machine prompts you to. Was the new owner of a pre-owned machine able to do that? Do you just fill the water tank with solution and water and turn the steam knob and push the bottom center little black button even if it isnt flashing descale? I just picked one of these up from a neighbor's driveway and a sign said it is still working, so I've cleaned it and want to begin determining if it is all in working order. Thanks for any guidance you can offer.
After descaling my red descaling light continues blinking. How do I reset the descaler blinking light?
Im sorry to hear that. you need to do the process over but this time, just use water instead of descale solution
Can you tell me why is the light stays on the red light?
Red light indicator is telling you that it's time to descale. If you've done the descale process and red light still lights on, I'd suggest you to follow the instruction again with just clean tap water again. Thank you for wathcing my video
@@JoeKnowTechhello 😊 I just picked up one of these machines for free from a neighbor's driveway with a sign that said 'STILL WORKING'! It looks to be in great shape. But I need to test it etc. I plugged it in and it isn't giving me any indicator light that it needs to be descaled. QUESTION ❓ Can I fill it with water and run it through the machine to the cappuccino maker just to see if it works? How can I get water to just run through the machine to see if it is working? (There was no user manual...). Thanks!
my machine has failed to start descaling
what should do
I'd unplug cable, replug after 2 minutes and try to descale again
Is there alternative to the solution ? Like white vinegar perhaps.
I’m not aware of alternate solution but I’d love to find out
You should absolutely not use any kind of acid (sour) cleaning agent. It's clearly stated in the instruction booklet. It could ruin all the "rubber" /silicone seals in the machine!
@@bengtmowitz5012hi 😊 do you know if I can just run a tank of water through the machine to see if its working? What button or lever would I push to make the water run through the machine and go out the cappuccino spout? Thanks 😊
If you just press the button in the middle (the one with the led) it pours like a cup at the time through the coffee tap and not the milk frothing tap, just repeat it.
Buy ordinary Citric acid powder at the mart, you will find it in the spice department. Add 2-3 tablespoons and water up to the b-mark and run the program as usual, just be sure to really dissolve the Citric acid powder.
Great video but after i complete the process the red light goes off- but when i turn the machine off it does not go through the rinse cycle anymore, why would that happen? It makes coffee still but when i turn it on or off it goes directly to the green lights without the rinse cycle happening- please help
Thank you for watching my video but I couldn't figure out why your machine isn't going through rinse cycle. If that happened right after descale, maybe check the machine to make sure the steam dial knob is in the right place at off position. I'd try cleaning infuser and surrounding area, and if that doesn't work, redo the descale cycle without descale solution (just water only)and see if that helps. sorry I've never heard anyone with same trouble so I don't have answer to that
