Important!
Descaler contains acids which may irritate the skin and eyes.
It is vital to respect the manufacturer’s safety warnings given on the descaler pack and the warnings relating to the procedure to follow in the event of contact with the skin and eyes.
Please note!
Use De’Longhi descaler only.
Under no circumstances should you use sulpha- mic or acetic based descalers. Their use invalida- tes the guarantee. Failure to descale the applian-
ce as described also invalidates the guarantee.
