Cleaning scale
Clean the limescale off the coffee machine
from time to time. The frequency will depend
on the hardness of the water (ask your supply
company). Normally it should be cleaned
every three months at least.
Use normal water softening products on the
market for coffee machines (follow the
instructions on the packet) or dissolve two
teaspoons of tartaric acid or citric acid in half
a litre of lukewarm water.
Do not use vinegar
as it will reduce the life
of the appliance.

solution. Then place a container which
