7.1 PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE OF THE BOILER

•The build-up of lime-scale inside the boiler is signalled by illumination of the LED shown below.

When this LED illuminates the boiler must be descaled.

The manufacturer declines all liability for failure to clean the boiler when necessary. Moreover, the repair or replacement of scale-damaged parts is not covered by the guarantee if the characteristics of the water supply do not comply with those stipulated (see corresponding paragraph).

The boiler may be descaled using either:

-pure vinegar (100%); or

-a chemical descaler (as instructed below).

The oven must be switched on prior to descaling the boiler.
