DESCALING
Mineral deposits accumulated in the unit affect its
performance. If you notice an increase in the time
it takes to make espresso, or if it steams too much,
your appliance needs to be descaled.
In addition, you may notice scale build­up on the
surface of the infuser.
The cleaning frequency depends on the hardness
of the water used. The following table shows the
recommended cleaning intervals.
