• 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.
• Use citric acid based descalers. Under no circumstances should you use sulphamic or acetic based descalers.
