5. DESCALING
The guarantee does not cover appliances which become faulty because they have not been descaled re-
gularly.
Descale your espresso machine using white vinegar (available from hardware stores) or a sachet of com-
mercial citric or sulfamic acid.
We recommend that you use the Krups descaling accessory, reference F054, available in Krups au-
thorised service centres. In addition to two descaling sachets, this accessory includes a water hardness
tape tester to assess the frequency with which your appliance should be descaled, in normal use. The amount
of scale depends on the hardness of the water but also the level of use.
The frequency of descaling given by the F054 accessory is therefore purely indicative.
