DESCALING PROCEDURE
The normal use of the machine with natural mineral water, both in bottle
and from the tap, entails the formation of limescale.
It is recommended to carry out the descaling cycle every 300 cups of
coff ee (otherwise every 3-4 months) and/or when a constant decrease
of the dispensed coff ee fl ow is noticed.
THE FREQUENCY OF THIS OPERATION DEPENDS ON THE
HARDNESS OF WATER USED.
