Faults produced by limescale
Coffee not dispensed at right temperature: Heat-exchanger outlet pipes clogged by limescale.
Brewing groups do not dispense water: Water system is clogged by limescale.
90% of faults are due to limescaling inside the coffee machine (due to not softening the water). To avoid
these faults, maintain the water softener regularly.
