Scaling
Almost every type of water deposits lime at high temperatures.
This settles inside the appliance and affects both the performance
and service life. The heating elements must therefore be descaled
from time to time. A qualified contractor who knows the local
water quality will tell you when the next service is due.

f
Check the taps/valves regularly. You can remove limescale
deposits at the tap outlets using commercially available des-
caling agents.

Regularly activate the safety valve to prevent it from becom-
ing blocked e.g. by limescale deposits.
