8. DESCALING

 Why descale
- Limestone forms naturally in your coffee maker. Descaling preserves the coffee maker and ensures it will last
longer and provide quality coffee over time. Limestone can permanently affect the machine's performance.
Malfunctions associated with scaling will not be covered by the warranty if the product is returned.
 When to descale
- When descaling is necessary, the CLEAN icon will appear on screen.
- However, the descaling frequency depends on the hardness of the water and the number of brew cycles.
It may be necessary to descale your coffee machine if you notice the following signs, even if the CLEAN
message does not appear on the screen : longer cycle time, excessive steaming, more noise at the end of
the cycle, stopping mid-cycle ; this means that your machine needs to be descaled.
- Descaling should be done about once a month, depending on the hardness of the water.
