DecAlcIFIcATIOn
Good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and keep the machine efficient for a longer amount of time, considerably
limiting the risks of lime deposits forming inside the appliance. However, should your coffee machine fail to work properly
as a result of the frequent use of hard, high calcium content water, you may perform a decalcification procedure to restore
its operational efficiency. For this purpose you must use only Ariete's, citric acid-based decalcifying products (NOCAL). This
product is easily found at the Ariete technical service centres. Ariete does not assume any responsibility whatsoever for
damage to components inside the coffee machine caused by the use of non-compliant products containing chemical addi-
tives. Should you need to decalcify your appliance, please follow the instructions which come with the decalcifying product.
puTTIng OuT OF serVIce
If you want to put the machine out of service, you must disconnect it electrically, empty the water tank and drip tray and clean
it (see the paragraph on "Cleaning the appliance").
In the case of scrapping, you must separate the various materials used in making the machine and dispose of them based
on their composition and on the legal provisions in force in the country of use.
