Descaling warning


Descale soon will appear in the
display the next time you switch the
steam ironing system on if there are
only about 2 hours of ironing available
before the system needs descaling.
You can start the descaling process
whilst the system is cold via the
Settings menu (see "Starting the
descaling process early") or you can
press the OK button to confirm the
message in the display and continue
ironing as normal. The  symbol will
continue to show in the display until
descaling is carried out.
After the remaining operating hours
have elapsed, the descaling process
must be carried out before the steam
ironing system can be used again.
You can also start the descaling
process at a time that suits you (see
"Starting the descaling process
early").
You can interrupt the descaling process
by switching the steam ironing system
off with the  button. When you switch
the system back on, descaling will start
again from the point where the process
was interrupted.
The messages in the display will guide
you through the descaling process. The
entire descaling process takes approx.
90 minutes.
Only proceed with stages of the
process when prompted to do so by the
appropriate message in the display.
Once the descaling process has
started, your presence is required after
around 20 minutes and again after a
50
further 60 minutes. For the rest of the
descaling process, you can leave the
steam ironing system unattended.
Tip: To optimise the descaling process,
start the procedure while the system is
still cold after switching the steam
ironing system on. This way, you will
avoid a delay of up to 3 hours that may
be caused by the cooling phase.
