Complementary Descaling (for existing limescale)
While SoftBalls prevent new limescale, existing buildup may require a dedicated descaling solution. De'Longhi offers official descaling products for this purpose. Refer to your coffee machine's manual for specific descaling procedures.

5. Fejlfinding
De'Longhi SoftBalls are a passive preventative measure. If you experience issues with your coffee machine, such as reduced water flow, altered coffee taste, or error messages related to limescale, it is likely that existing limescale buildup needs to be addressed with a dedicated descaling solution. The SoftBalls primarily prevent ny opbygning.
Always refer to your specific coffee machine's instruction manual for troubleshooting steps related to machine operation and descaling procedures.
