What Descaling needed. Press OK to start (~45min)
actually means.
Scale from hard water builds in the thermoblock and valves. The CM242WTXT tracks how much water has passed and prompts for a descale, which you can start at once or put off for later.

What to do when Descaling needed. Press OK to start (~45min) shows on the coffee machineKind of codeMode, not a failure
The machine is doing what it was set to do, not wearing out: a rinse that runs through the spouts at switch-on and switch-off, a descale or filter reminder counting the water that has passed through, an energy-save mode that darkens the screen after a quiet spell, or a demo mode left on from the showroom that lights the keys and pours nothing. No part is needed; finishing the cycle the display asks for, or a key sequence from the manual, ends it.

Press OK to start, or choose later if you are mid-morning; the cycle runs about 45 minutes.

A coffee machine error code may show as a short string of letters and numbers, a flashing symbol for water, grounds or the brew unit, a short sentence on a text display, or a machine that stops with one light blinking.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for Descaling needed. Press OK to start (~45min) on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press OK to start, or choose later if you are mid-morning; the cycle runs about 45 minutes.
Follow the screen: descaler and water in the tank, a large container under the spouts, then two rinses with the tank filled to MAX.
If the reminder does not clear after a complete cycle and both rinses, book a visit.
Cleared?
The message is gone, and the machine grinds, heats and pours a full cup again with no new part. If it comes back within the week, or the descale or filter reminder returns straight after a finished cycle, say so in the booking.
What not to do
The prompt is maintenance, not a breakdown, and coffee can still be made if you postpone it. Set the water hardness in the menu so the reminder matches your supply.
