8.6 Descaling
1. ROCKET
mend removing limescale from
the espresso machine. Con-
tact an authorised ROCKET
centre for descaling.
2. Many of the chemicals used
i
to descale espresso machines
are particularly aggressive.
These chemicals can cause in-
ternal corrosion of hard metals
used in the construction of the
machine.
3. Additionally, it is very difficult to
remove all the descaling solu-
tion from the machine once the
procedure is completed.
4. Check the quality of the water you use in
the machine, always using filtered water.
Distilled water may lack the necessary
conductivity required for various elec-
tronic functions needed in the operation
of the machine.
