I have a Saeco Royal Professional coffee machine, and when I use the steamer for either steam or hot water, small dark coloured particles or flakes come out. I have always descaled this machine and kept it rinsed and maintained since I have had it (4 or 5 years). The particles look metalic but I'm not 100% sure. Also, I would like to ask what the water hardness setting does? Thanks
Hi there,
the small flakes are bits of lime scale from your boiler system, to fix/ reduce flakes/particles complete a de-scale cycle on your machine using de-scaler. water hardness- set on 1 will change the length of time before it will ask you to de-scale the machine. Note- hardness 1 is the max time length. hope this helps

Purchase the Saeco descaler. Mix solution accordingly. Pour into water tank. Run a cappucino cup full of water through the wand. Wait about 20 minute and repeat. Do this until all the water is gone in the tank. (Don't run all the water at once!). Rinse water tank well. FIll with clean water and run through the wand. I do this twice just to be sure I have gotten all the chemical out.

HI
Its called a thumbscrew. You have pulled the nut that was molded into it out. Don't use the key to install the new one. That is why they call it a thumb screw. Finger tight. Should be able to get it from one of the online vendors. http://www.partsguru.com carries it. Wholelattelove. 1st line.com

That is serious, that means the grinder is jammed or not working. To check the components of the machine follow these instructions.
Press and hold the steam button and turn on the machine, when you see the lights going around in anticlockwise direction, release the button. Turn the coffee dial to the left and press the steam button, the grinder should turn. Dial on the right and pressing coffee ****. water pump runs. Press steam ****. brew group go up, dial 1/4 to left B/Group down.
If grinder not turning the motor is bad. Hope it will help to find out.

Hi
Auto descale: To automatically descale your machine, press the scoop button or menu button if you have one, and hold it down until you enter the menu. Use the arrows on the left to scroll down until you come to Descale. Press enter and the machine will enter the mode to descale your machine. The process takes about 45 minutes. You don’t have to do a thing except mix a full water tank with descaling solution and have a container under the steam wand when your start. To start the descaling process, simply turn the steam knob. When the process is over your machine will say "Descale finished". Remove your water tank and rinse it out. Refill it with fresh water. Replace on the machine and start the descaling process over again to rinse your machine. Go back into your menu and scroll up or down 1 to signal descale and enter. Choose "Yes" and push enter so the machine will tell you when you need to descale again.

Thanks for that answere. Unfortunately the flakes are definitely metallic, like bits of chrome or something. I have decalcified it a number of times, but now I can see that it is not lime scale that is the problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
