Scale is a surface build up of minerals that
naturally occur over time in all appliances
that are involved with the heating of water.
Therefore the espresso machine will require
occasional descaling. It is recommended
that the espresso machine is descaled every
4-6 months, this will vary depending on the
frequency of use.
Descaling solution
Use any of the following when descaling the
espresso machine:
Sunbeam Espresso Machine Descaling
Tablets
Sunbeam Liquid Descaler, or
Vinegar Solution.
