appliance needs to be descaled will
depend on the water hardness level in
your area. The machine should be
descaled regularly to ensure that it
functions correctly.
The machine will guide you through the
descaling process. Various messages
will appear in the display, e.g. you will
be prompted to empty the drip tray or
fill the water container.
