DESCALE

Descale
Drinking water varies according to region. The lime
particles in hard drinking water are deposited as residues
in the machine and can block the piping and cause
damage. To prevent this, be sure to descale that machine
at the very least after making 300 to 400 cups of coffee or
in any case if the output falls significantly or, in any case
after, on or two months.
