in time causes the calcification of the coffee maker.
Lime impairs the function of the machine and
reduces the quaility of the coffee.

ness of your tap water. If your water has a high
degree of hardness, the coffee maker must be
decalcified after every 30 applications, low de-
grees of hardness need only be decalcified after
every 60 applications. Use a decalcifying agent
for household appliances and follow the
instructions.
