Re: Descaling Silvia -- when can I stop flushing??
Thanks Mal -- that page is fast becoming a permanent fixture in my browser, though the boiler section looked way too scary at first. But now Ive got the machine open its a lot more obvious what the photos are trying to show. So in theory I could unbolt the boiler, prise it out, turn it upside down (thats the bit that had me flummoxed -- I was looking for a hole in the *top*. No, really. Duh :-[ ) and peer inside.
This is an excellent plan. Think Ill give the descale & flush (& flush & flush & ...) approach another go first tho
Searched unsuccessfully for the La Cimbali refurb tale -- any more clues? Im curious to know how you actually clean a badly scaled up boiler (even tho I am rather hoping I dont *need * to know!)
