DESCALING/ DECALCIFICATION
Mineral deposits building up in the coffee maker will have an adverse effect in the operation of the
appliance. Deposited residues in the machine can block the piping and cause damage.
Your appliance must be descaled when you begin to notice an increase in the time required to
brew espresso or when there is excessive steaming. The frequency of cleaning depends upon the
hardness of the water used. Drinking water varies according to region.
To prevent adverse effects of mineral deposits/ lime scale, be sure to decalcify the machine at the
very least after making three hundred to four hundred (300 to 400) cups of coffee or, in any case if
the output falls significantly or, after one or two (1 to 2) months.
