fig.
helps maintain the heating element and other
internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact
with water.
The Brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6
months to ensure optimal performance. It is
possible for calcium deposits to build up faster,
making it necessary to de-scale more often.
You should promptly de-scale if "DE-SCALE" is
displayed on the LCD Control Center (fig. 20).
However, even if "DE-SCALE" is not displayed,
you should continue to de-scale your brewer
every 3-6 months. Properly follow the de-scaling
procedure described on page 15.
