1.14 Descaling
During use limescale deposits
accumulate in the machine. The machine
is equipped with a signalling function that
is activated after a certain number of
litres water have run through the machine
(see § 1.11.3 Setting descaling signal).
When this descaling signal is activated
(fig. 1 appears in the display), the
descaling program § 1.8.3 must be
started soon. Before descaling read the
instruction manual and the
recommendations on the sachet of
descaling agent. We recommend to use
Renegite, which we have tested.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE **
•Stay with the machine throughout the
descaling process.
•Wear gloves and a facial protector
while descaling.
