DESCALING
Descale your appliance regularly, as indicated in sections A and B for the coffee and steam
functions, as this will help prolong its lifespan. The frequency of descaling depends on the
hardness of your water. Consult your water supply authority for more information.
While descaling, do not place your appliance on a marble worktop. The descaling agent
could damage it.
„ To help you, here is a table of reference for the frequency of descaling according to water
