white vinegar works well, and a razor blade.

I concur with this, razor blade in a scraper cradle (stanley and screwfix do good ones they are like 2 quid) and either just use water for the soft stuff, or a spray with vinegar and wait 5 mins for the chunkier stuff, i'm constantly scraping evap lines myself, but if you do it regularly you don't need the vinegar.

They work well without vinegar and you can adjust the angle of attack. Also good for removing silicon sealant that you got all over the glass.

Ha! I used to own a Tandberg - way back then.

+1 on white vinegar and a decent scraper/razor for hard buildups - but if you keep on top of it a coarse sponge and elbow grease is enough.

Cheers,
Michael

Drape some kitchen paper towels drenched in vinegar over the edge of the tank. You won't get much vinegar in the water and it will stay plenty of time in contact with the limescale. Afterwards use a razor blade if necessary.
