Maintenance 3 or 4 Times a Year
Descaling
Descaling (sometimes called decalcification) is an essential part of machine maintenance:-
- The machine should be descaled 3 or 4 times a year, depending upon the hardness of the water used
- It is important that you use a descaling product specifically designed for descaling espresso machines, such as Ascaso Descale Powder, full instructions for how to use the product are shown on the packet
Lack of regular descaling is a major cause of machine breakdown and is usually not covered by the guarantee or extended warranty.
Toxic chemicals are not recommended as a descaling agent.
(IMPORTANT Additional or alternative cleaning and maintenance may be recommended by the machine manufacturer, please follow carefully all instructions as detailed in the users manual.)
