Notes from the research
  • The only first-party Musica handbook found is the 2009 edition; no descale interval or procedure, only 'Scale must be removed from the machine' as a troubleshooting remedy.
  • No backflush guidance, no gasket or shower-screen replacement interval.
  • Cleaning-table intervals are verified visually; the tick marks do not extract as text.
