HOW TO DEAL WITH LIMESCALE INCRUSTATIONS

• For the appliance to work correctly, it should be kept free of limescale or magnesium incrustations caused by the use of hard water.
• To prevent this kind of problem, we recommend the use of water with low lime or magnesium mineralisation.
• This coffee maker should be descaled after 500 cycles. This time is a guideline, and we recommend the following:
  • Every 10 weeks if the water is “very hard”.
  • Every 17 weeks if the water is “hard”.
• Homemade solutions are not recommended in the decaling of this appliance, such as the use of vinegar.
