10 Care and maintenance We recommend descaling the appliance whenever the warning appears in the display. Continued to descale the appliance will likely impair its functions or cause damage to the appliance. Descaling takes about 45 minutes. Descaling interval The time interval between descaling depends on the hardness of the water and fre- quency of use.
Page 29
10 Care and maintenance Starting the descaling process The appliance must have cooled down before descaling. Remove accessories, cookware or other objects from the cooking space. Do not leave the appliance unattended: during the descaling process, the descaler must be filled and the water tank must be emptied. The appliance door must be kept closed during descaling.
11 Trouble-shooting For the operating mode, after descaling, the water that is pumped back into the water tank may not be clear. This will not affect the cooking or baking charac- teristics nor the quality of the food being cooked or baked. Trouble-shooting 11.1 What to do if …...
