What to do when Descaling needed. Press OK to start (~45min) shows on the home appliance

Kind of codeScale and descaling

Minerals from the water supply have built up where the appliance heats or freezes water: a steam oven's generator, a built-in coffee system, a dishwasher's heating path, an ice maker's mold and valve. The appliance asks for a descale because scale slows heating and blocks small passages. Run the descaling program with the descaler the maker names, check the water-hardness setting against your local water, and put the next descale on the calendar.

Fresh filters in dispensers and ice makers, and scale cleared from steam ovens, ice makers and dish care machines.

Shows up asWhite Scale on Appliance Water Parts: Steam Ovens, Ice Makers, Dish Care

Still there?

It usually turns into water filter and descaling service. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

This prompt is maintenance, not a breakdown, and the machine can still make coffee if the cycle is postponed. Setting the water hardness accurately in the menu is what keeps the interval matched to the actual supply.

Questions
about Descaling needed. Press OK to start (~45min).

Can I clear Descaling needed. Press OK to start (~45min) myself?
Press OK to start right away, or choose later if the timing is inconvenient; the cycle runs about 45 minutes. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
How long does the Bertazzoni espresso unit's descale cycle take?
About 45 minutes by the display's own estimate, including the two rinse passes.
Can descaling be postponed on this Bertazzoni machine?
Yes, the screen allows choosing later, though letting scale sit for weeks can slow the heater down over time.
Does fitting the softener filter remove the need to descale?
No, the cartridge only softens the water; the descale program still runs separately and the cartridge itself eventually needs replacing or removing.
