Well first of all the heating element flange, seen those are in most cases not interchangeable with each other. seen a Cimbali heating element won’t fit a Nuova Simonelli heating element due to the flange model. A other important feature is the length of the heating element. When it is too long, it won’t fit. When the element is too short you will get uneven heat distribution in the boiler.

Well descaling a heating element is quite simple. A heating element can be placed inside a water tight tube. But the flange can not be submerged, the chance that water gets inside the heating element is possible. Which shorts out the element and makes it unuasable.

To descale a heating element you can use Puly caff Calcinet descaler, this need to be dissolved into hot water. First remove the loose lime scale. If it doesn’t remove all the limescale, repeat the procedure.

A heating element only comes with a gasket when this is specified. If this is not specified a heating element gasket isn’t supplied with the element.
