calcifier (of the non-toxic and non-harmful type)
available on the market, expressly intended for cof-
fee machines and guaranteed in compliance with
the standards and regulations in force.
Never use vinegar as a decalcifying agent. Do not
swallow or cause any other person to swallow the
decalcifier. Burning hazard, the decalcifying solu-
tion will be supplied at high temperatures.
