Descaling
- The accumulation of mineral deposits in the appliance may affect its operation. Therefore,
we recommend that you descale the appliance when you start to notice an increase in
brewing time or when excessive steam is produced. You may also notice a build-up of
mineral deposits in the nozzle. The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of the
water used. The recommended cleaning intervals are given in the table below.

water. Repeat this process twice.
