8. DESCALING

The warranty does not cover machines which have become faulty be-
cause descaling was not periodically performed. Descale your espresso
machine regularly using Krups descaling kits (model F054) available in
Krups authorized service centres (to Krupsonlinestore.ca for Canadian
residents only). In addition to two packets of descaling powder, the kit
also includes a water hardness tester to help you determine the proper
schedule for descaling your machine in normal use. The amount of scale
that develops depends on the hardness of the water used, but also the
level of use. The schedule indicated by the water hardness tester is a
general guideline only. Keep in mind that you may have to descale more
frequently than indicated.
