The lime-scale removal programme

The amount of lime-scale deposited is dependent on the hardness of the water used. When it is necessary to carry out lime-scale removal, you will be warned of this when the appliance is switched on by the glowing of the “remove lime-scale”indicator.

Note: You can continue to use the appliance, but should carry out the lime-scale removal programme as soon as conveniently possible.

Caution! Use only KRUPS lime-scale removal agent or citric acid or tartaric acid. No responsibility can be taken for eventual damage arising from the use of other materials. You can obtain lime-scale removal materials from the KRUPS service unit.

Do not under any circumstances use the conventional amidosulphonic acid or any materials containing such acid, as this can damage your appliance. Carefully check the composition of any lime-scale removal materials which you propose to use.
