dESCALING

specifi cations of the machine, to ensure the machine performance will not decrease over time,
and to guarantee a safe and risk-free use. The descaling solution must be disposed of according
to the manufacturer's instructions and/or applicable regulations in the country of use.
never drink the descaling solution and any substances dispensed until the cycle ends.
never use vinegar as a descaling solution.
