* HOW TO DEAL WITH LIME SCALE IN-
CRUSTATIONS:
For the appliance to work correctly it should be

kept free of lime scale or magnesium incrusta-
tions caused by the use of hard water.
To prevent this kind of problem, we recom-
•
mend the use of water with low lime or magne-
sium mineralisation.
Homemade solutions are not recommended
•
