Nothing else in this catalog has a water side, and everything hard water does to a kettle it does to this — only inside a wall oven, out of sight, on a schedule nobody is watching. ### Why the interval is wrong here The appliance counts cycles against a hardness value set at the factory. It is a reasonable average and it is not this city. Descaling ahead of the message is the difference between a chore and a boiler. ### What decides the figure Whether it is a descale or a descale plus what scale has already reached — the fill valve, the pump, the level sensing. The first is maintenance and the second is a repair.

The interval is calculated rather than measured, from a hardness figure set at the factory, and South Florida water is well beyond it. An oven that has never asked is often the one most overdue. Yes, and you should — it is a cycle, a cartridge or bottle of the right agent, and an hour. We will happily talk you through it rather than sell you a visit for it. Where we come out is when the oven has stopped making steam because it was left too long. Scale in the generator, a fill valve that stops seating, and eventually a steam oven that heats and produces nothing. That repair is several times this one, which is the entire argument for the schedule.
