Try to empty the boiler as much as possible before the next descaling run (on the cold machine loosen the hot water pipe on the lower right and drain the boiler from there, be careful not to damage the fitting! Do NOT apply excessive force).
Retighten the fitting, fill the boiler with descaling solution and repeat descaling until the water from the hot water tap is clear. When you refill the boiler try to measure how much water enters the boiler until the autofill stops (maybe the water level in the is too low and the autofill probe needs some adjusting) before you detach the wire and fill any further.

The 'boiler level meter' is the pressure gauge that should be idling somewhere around 0.9-1.1bar (the green area) if you have more than that you need to change the pressurestat setting. The boiler is filled with steam and hot water. Some sputtering and steam is normal when you open the tap but should lessen as you drain hot water from the boiler and cold water enters the boiler again.

When you work on the inside of your machine PLEASE UNPLUG the machine. Switching off is not good enough.

Hopefully someone else will jump in if I say something stupid - until then it's just your common sense and me

Be careful.
