Cleaning and care
Reminder to descale
46
If two operating hours remain until the appliance must be
descaled, the indicator light k begins to flash red. The less
time remains until descaling, the faster the indicator light
flashes, until it finally lights up constantly.
During the time between which the indicator light k begins to
flash and lights up constantly, the descaling process can be
started by pressing the j button.
As soon as the indicator light k lights up constantly, the
remaining operating hours have expired.
You may finish what you are ironing, but descaling will need
to be carried out the next time the appliance is switched on.
Otherwise, ironing will not be possible.
The residual water drawer can become warm during the
descaling process. Remove and empty the drawer only
after being prompted to do so by the indicator light 2.
Otherwise, the hot water may cause injury and/or damage
to property if spilled.
To prevent the residual water drawer from being removed
inadvertently, lower the steam ironing system to its lowest
working position (see 'Height adjustment'). To remove the
residual water drawer, the steam ironing system must be
raised to its highest working position.
The descaling process can be interrupted by switching off
the appliance with the s button. After switching the
appliance on again, the descaling process will continue from
the point at which it was interrupted.
