The steam ironing system must be descaled regularly to ensure that it functions

The messages in the display will guide you through the descaling process. The
entire descaling process takes approx. 90 minutes.
Descaling

cold after switching the steam ironing system on. After an activation period of approx. 1 hour, the descaling solution is drained
from the steam generator into the residual water container.
This way, you avoid a delay of up to 3 hours that may be caused by the cool-
down phase. The steam generator is then rinsed with water. This rinse cycle takes approx.
5 minutes. During this time, the "
