Descaling
Descaling of your espresso should be done
•
fairly frequently with citric or tartaric acid.
Use caution when descaling your espresso
•
machine as the acid substance within the
descaling poweder may damage coun-
tertops or any other surface it comes in
contact with.
The guarantee does not include espresso
•
machines which do not function, or do not
function properly, because descaling has
not been carried out.
However, we would advise you to use the
Krups descaling accessory, reference
F054, which is available from Krups af-
ter-sales service centres. This accessory
includes, apart from two descaling doses,
a testing strip for water hardness to assess
the frequency of descaling of your appliance
in normal use. Descaling depends on the
hardness of the water, but also on the use
cycle. The frequently of descaling indicated
by the F054 accessory is thus given by way of
indication only.
