5. DESCALING
The guarantee does not cover appliances which become faulty because they have not been descaled
regularly.
Descale your espresso machine using white vinegar (available from hardware stores) or a sachet of
commercial citric or sulfamic acid.
We recommend that you use the Krups descaling accessory, reference F054, available in Krups
authorised service centres. In addition to two descaling sachets, this accessory includes a water hard-
ness tape tester to assess the frequency with which your appliance should be descaled, in normal use.
The amount of scale depends on the hardness of the water but also the level of use.
The frequency of descaling given by the F054 accessory is therefore purely indicative.
DESCALING FREQUENCY
Av. number of Soft water
coffees per week (<19°th)
Less than 7 Once a year
From 7 to 20 Every 4 months
Over 20 Every 3 months
If in doubt, it is recommended to descale every month
