ScaleFree™
Descaling Compound is an acid-based descaler combined with a proprietary chelating
agent that is effective in dissolving and removing carbonate, lime-scale and iron scale build-up
caused by hard water. ScaleFree efficiently and effectively removes lime-scale build-up from combi
ovens.
ScaleFree™
is a non-hazardous, Biodegradable Citrus Based Powder that when mixed with water
becomes a powerful lime-scale remover.
It is VERY important to decalcify the oven, particularly in areas with extremely hard water.

Let the water continue to drain until the
flow completely subsides. Replace the
Steam Generator Drain Cap

turning it clockwise until there is a
slight resistance. Close oven door.
