HG Descaler

HG Descaler
Due to the buildup of boiler scale and lime in coffee machines and other hot water appliances, heating elements use more energy, leading to reduced efficiency and premature failure of the elements. Moreover, not using a coffee machine descaler does not improve the taste of coffee. There are plenty of reasons to descale your equipment regularly. The instructions for descaling vary greatly by hot water appliance, and water hardness is also important for effectively removing boiler scale and lime.

Composition
Contains among others: non-ionic surfactants <5%.

Usage
Depending on the type of appliance, the method of descaling varies.

Descaling a coffee machine:
1. Dilute 50ml of the HG descaler with half a liter of water and carefully pour the coffee machine descaler into the reservoir of the coffee machine.
2. Let the machine operate as it normally would when brewing coffee.
3. Dispose of the solution down the drain. If the machine does not flow sufficiently, repeat the treatment with a new mixture of coffee machine descaler.
4. Finally, run the machine three times with clean water to ensure no lime residues or aftertaste remain.

Descaling a kettle:
1. Dilute 50ml of the HG descaler with half a liter of water and carefully pour it into the kettle.
2. Do not turn on the appliance, but let the liquid sit cold for about 40 minutes.
3. Dispose of the solution down the drain. If the lime is not sufficiently removed, repeat the treatment with descaler.
4. Finally, rinse the appliance well after treatment.
5. The kettle is now ready for use.

Descaling a washing machine:
1. Add the HG descaler to the detergent drawer. In soft water areas, use 100ml and in hard water areas, use 200ml.
2. Start the shortest program with a temperature of 60°C.
3. Midway through the program, turn off the machine and wait about 20 minutes to allow the washing machine descaler to work effectively.
4. After 20 minutes, let the machine complete the program.
5. The washing machine is now ready for use.

Warnings
Transport and store the bottle upright.
Do not use in pod coffee machines and on acid-sensitive surfaces, such as aluminum, zinc, and enamel.
Never use a descaling liquid for steam irons, including HG descaler.
For descaling espresso and pod coffee machines, use HG coffee machine descaler with citric acid.
Lime can damage the heating element. Therefore, descale your hot water appliances regularly to prevent lime from affecting your element.
