Descaling
The sterilization process is extremely important to ensure the most hygienic standards for
your baby� Limescale deposits can slow down the sterilization cycle and even impair its
effectiveness.
Limescale is the hard and chalky deposit� Depending on the water type in your area,
limescale can have different appearances ranging from snow white looking powder to
brownish stains� The harder the water, the faster scale builds up� It builds up in appliances
as the residue of minerals naturally contained in water, which fail to evaporate when water
is heated� Although it is not harmful as such, it is unsightly, hard to clean and can impair the
operation of appliances or damage their components if allowed to build up�
Descale the sterilizer at least every 2 weeks to ensure it works efficiently.
