Remarks on Descaling
The previous section explains the correct
operations to perform to descale the
machine.
The machine you have purchased is
equipped with advanced software to
check the quantity of used water in order
to provide reliable information about the
right time to carry out descaling opera-
tions.
This software has been programmed for
standard water hardness.
In case of especially hard water (high
calcium content), descaling cycles might
have to be carried out more frequently,
even if the machine does not display
warning signals.
Even if the machine is not used often
(e.g. 1 coff ee per day), it is recommended
to perform descaling cycles more fre-
quently.
In these specific cases, it is recommended
to perform descaling cycles every 1-2
months, even if the machine does not
signal it.
