Pour the solution into the kettle and heat. DO NOT boil! Leave the solution in the
kettle for approx. 1 hour, then pour away. Refll the kettle with fresh water and
boil. Pour out the water and remove the scale residues with a damp cloth. If the
scale is thick, descale more frequently. Do not descale with any chemicals for
descaling espresso/coffee machines or irons.
Caution! The frequency of descaling shall depend on the quality and type of
water. Descale if the heating element is covered with scale across 1/4 of the
