functioning parts of your machine and reduce operating performance – which, in
turn, reduces the quality of the espresso.
This is why Solis recommends regularly (depending on water hardness but at least
once a month) descaling your Primaroma with a mixture of SOLIPOL
®
water. Please use only SOLIPOL special (Art.-No. 703.02) for descaling the ma-
chine. Damages caused by the use of improper descaling agent are not covered by
warranty.
