5 Maintenance
The GIGA builds up deposits of limescale over time and automati-
cally prompts you to descale it when necessary. The degree of calci-
fication depends on the hardness of your water.
If the descaling agent comes into contact with the skin or eyes, this
can cause irritation.
T
Avoid contact with the skin or eyes.
T
Rinse off the descaling agent with clean water. Should you get
any descaling agent in your eye, see a doctor.
If the wrong descaling agent is used, the machine could be damaged
and/or traces could be left behind in the water.
T
Use only original JURA maintenance products.
If the descaling operation is interrupted, there may be damage to the
machine.
T
Allow the descaling programme to run to the end.
If the descaling agent comes into contact with sensitive surfaces
(e.g. marble), damage cannot be ruled out.
T
Clean up any splashes immediately.
E
The descaling programme lasts approximately 50 minutes.
E
JURA descaling tablets are available from specialised dealers.
E
If you use a CLARIS Pro filter cartridge and this is activated, you
will not be prompted to descale.
