descaling
12 Scale build-up will cause the element to overheat, reducing its working life. It will
also lengthen the brewing time.
13 Descale regularly. If you notice the brewing time getting longer, shorten the time
between descalings. In areas of very hard water it may be necessary to descale as
often as once a month, or to use filtered water instead of ordinary tap water.
14 Use a proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use in plastic-bodied products.
Follow the instructions on the package of descaler. When descaling has finished,
empty the carafe and operate the coffee maker twice more with fresh water, but
without coffee. Discard the water to ensure that no chemical residues are left in the
coffee maker.
, Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a
repair charge.
