Descaling

The appliance must be descaled regularly in order for it
to continue operating correctly.
There are several steps in the descaling programme.
For hygiene reasons, the descaling programme must
be run through completely so that the appliance can be
ready for operation again.In total, the descaling
programme runs for approx. 70-90 minutes.
Descale (approx. 55-70 minutes), then empty and
■
refill the water tank
First rinsing cycle (approx. 6-9 minutes), then empty
■
and refill the water tank
Second rinsing cycle (approx. 6-9 minutes), then
■
empty and dry the water tank
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.

Caution!
Damage to the appliance: Use only liquid descalers
■
that are recommended by us for the descaling
programme. The time the product needs to work
during descaling depends on the type of descaler
used. Other descalers may damage the appliance.

solution or descaler to come into contact with the
control panel or other delicate surfaces. This will
damage the surfaces. If this does happen, remove
the descaling solution immediately with water.
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.
Mix 400 ml water with 200 ml liquid descaler to
