Descaling
After an activation period of approx. 1 hour, the descaling solution is drained

Automatic descaling
The steam ironing system must be descaled regularly to ensure that it functions
correctly.
The messages in the display will guide you through the descaling process. The
entire descaling process takes approx. 90 minutes.
To optimize the descaling process, start the procedure while the system is still
cold after switching the steam ironing system on.
This way, you avoid a delay of up to 3 hours that may be caused by the cool-
down phase.
