You can fix one of the
round brushes to the
“Turbo” nozzle (fig. 39).
• Take precautions with
regard to dirty water
dripping down.
Descaling
From time to time the steam tank needs
descaling.
How often this is necessary will depend on the
hardness of your tapwater and the frequency of
use.
In general, we advise you to descale the
appliance at least every six months.
Preferably use a descaling agent which is
especially suitable for domestic appliances, such
as espresso machines, steam irons, etc.
Warning: Only descale the appliance while the
mains plug is not in the wall socket and when the
appliance is not hot.
Descaling agent (approx. 600 cc)
• Descaling agents which contain sulphuric and
citric acid are most effective and are safe for
the steam tank.
In general, they are available at shops where
electrical domestic appliances are sold and at
druggist stores.
- Follow the instructions on the packaging of the
descaling agent.
Mixture of water (half a litre) and white vinegar
(half a glassful)
• Instead of a descaling agent you can also use
a mixture of half a litre of water and half a
glassful of white vinegar.
Especially in this case ensure that the
appliance is not hot!
- Pour the mixture of
water with vinegar into
the steam tank (fig. 40).
- Shake the appliance
and let the mixture act
for a considerable time
(i.e. at least one hour;
preferably 12 hours).
- Place the appliance over a water outlet (sink,
shower cubicle, tub) and unscrew the outlet
opening.
Use the top section of the filling cap for a
spanner (fig. 41 and 42).
- Rinse the steam tank through with fresh water
until the outcoming water is clear.
Accessories - replacement or extra
Accessories are available to extend the
possibilities with your steam cleaner as well as for
replacement. Please refer to page. 37.
Apply to your dealer and mention the
corresponding type number and/or service
number.
