I have a Saeco Incanto Classic and the ventilate message will not disappear, even after sending 4 full watertanks through the steam nozzle. The solution posted above does not work.

Having read the other reviews here, I was prepared for the cryptic "VENTILATE" message. (The manual refers to this procedure as "Loading the circuit", which doesn't help to clarify things.) Of course this refers to what Americans would call "priming" the machine. As mentioned in another review, there is a plastic hand pump supplied for priming, but that is only needed in the event that the electric pump fails to self-prime. All I had to do (following the quick-start instructions) was to select the Hot Water function; the internal pump quickly primed itself. i hope this helps Lee Davidian

Let some water run through the water pipe and it will say ready for use

I have saeco incanto delux the ventilate message wont disappear. Have tried to load circuit but no water / steam flows out of nozzle.. Hot water and close knob appears, the back to ventilate
