If the descaling process is interrupted (for example, due
to a power failure or because the appliance has been
switched off), you are prompted to rinse the appliance
twice after it is switched back on. The appliance cannot
be used until the second rinsing cycle has come to an
end.
The frequency with which the appliance must be
descaled depends on the hardness of the water used.
When only five more steam-assisted operations are
possible, or fewer, the appliance reminds you to
descale it with a message on the display. The number
of remaining operations is displayed after the appliance
is switched on. You can therefore prepare for the
descaling in good time.
Starting
Caution!
Damage to the appliance: Only use liquid descalers
recommended by us for the descaling programme.
Other descalers may damage the appliance.
Descaler order no.: 311 680
Caution!
Descaling solution: Do not allow the descaling solution
to come into contact with the control panel or other
sensitive surfaces. This will damage the surfaces. If this
does happen, remove the descaling solution
immediately with water.
The descaling programme can only be started once the
cooking compartment has completely cooled down. If
the temperature in the cooking compartment is too
high, a message appears on the display. Wait until the
cooking compartment has cooled down. Then restart
the process.
If you have used a steam-assisted operation
immediately before descaling, you must first switch the
appliance off so that the residual water is pumped out
of the evaporator system.
