Descaling - Siemens HS858GX 6B Series Instruction Manual

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. 70-95 minutes.
Descale (approx. 55-70 minutes), then empty and
■
refill the water tank
First rinsing cycle (approx. 9-12 minutes), then
■
empty and refill the water tank
Second rinsing cycle (approx. 9-12 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.

used. Other descalers may damage the appliance.

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.
