What to do when DESCALE! MEDIUM CUP shows on the home applianceKind of codeScale and descaling
Minerals from the water supply have built up where the appliance heats or freezes water: a steam oven's generator, a built-in coffee system, a dishwasher's heating path, an ice maker's mold and valve. The appliance asks for a descale because scale slows heating and blocks small passages. Run the descaling program with the descaler the maker names, check the water-hardness setting against your local water, and put the next descale on the calendar.
Usually leads toWater filter and descaling service
Fresh filters in dispensers and ice makers, and scale cleared from steam ovens, ice makers and dish care machines.

What not to do
This is a mineral-scale alert cleared by descaling, not a heating or brewing-mechanism failure. JennAir's own warning is about decreased performance and possible product damage from skipping it, not about the machine failing to power on.
