Descaling the steam boiler
Note
Since the lime clogs the appliance, we recommend des-
caling the appliance based on the number of times the
water reservoir is filled as specified in the table (TF=tank
fillings).
Note
Your water board or municipal utilities authority can pro-
vide information on hardness of tap water.
ATTENTION
Damaged surfaces
The descaler may corrode sensitive surfaces.
Fill and empty the appliance carefully.
1. Switching off the device, see chapter
2. Allow the device to cool down.
3. Drain the water reservoir.
4. Remove the accessory/accessories from the acces-
sory holders.
5. Open the maintenance lock. To do this place the
open end of an extension tube on the maintenance
lock, insert this into the guide so it engages and
open it.
