Operating Instructions K 1801 B
4 Maintenance
Carry out maintenance tasks only when
the mains power plug has been pulled out and the
steam generator has cooled down.
If demineralized or distilled water is used
continuously, there is no need to rinse out and
descale the steam generator.
Rinsing out the steam generator
Rinse out the steam generator every 5th filling-
up if the hardness of water proves to be more
than 1.8 mmol/l (corresponds to 10° dH). You
can enquire about the hardness of water in your
area from your water supply company or
municipal public works.
Fill 0.5 l water into the steam generator.
Close the steam generator and shake it to
loosen the remnants of limescale.
Empty out the water.
Descaling the steam generator
As limescale is deposited in the steam generator,
we recommend descaling the tank after the given
number of tank fillings (TF).
