The guarantee does not cover appliances which become faulty because they have not been descaled
regularly.
Descale your espresso machine using white vinegar or a sachet of commercial citric or sulfamic acid.
We recommend that you use the Krups descaling accessory, reference F054, available in Krups
authorized service centres (to Krupsonlinestore.ca for Canadian residents only). In addition to two des-
caling 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.
If in doubt, it is recommended to descale every month
