Cleaning water tank<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1741075913748{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}” max_width=”550″ text_direction=”default”]The water tank is similar to the brewing group and water pipes: Over time, stubborn limescale builds up, which should be regularly removed with a high-quality premium descaler. The standard descaling process is usually sufficient. However, if the machine is left unused for a long time, unsightly limescale deposits will form, which can be easily removed with a slightly diluted premium descaler. If you know in advance that the coffee machine is going to be paused, it’s advisable to completely remove the water \u2013 otherwise, it could tip over and cause unpleasant surprises.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h5″ button_color=”default” text_color=”#000000″ button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” link_text=”Back to overview” url=”https:\/\/www.ceragol.com\/en\/cleaning\/”][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h5″ button_color=”default” text_color=”#000000″ button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” link_text=”For detailed cleaning instructions” url=”#start”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”10%” bottom_padding=”10%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”7\/12″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” offset=”vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_id=”start”]\n

              \ud83d\udca1Tip:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                \n
              • Clean and descale the water tank regularly (every 2-4 weeks depending on water hardness).<\/li>\n
              • To avoid damage to the machine, use only descaling products recommended by the manufacturer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                \u2705 Done! Your water tank is now clean and free of limescale. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h5″ button_color=”default” text_color=”#000000″ button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” link_text=”Back to overview” url=”https:\/\/www.ceragol.com\/en\/cleaning\/”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
