Whenever steam is produced, depending on the hardness of the local water supply
(i.e. the limescale content of the water), limescale is deposited in the boiler.
The appliance automatically recognises when descaling is necessary.

flashes in the display.
The time interval between descaling depends on the hardness of the water and fre-
quency of use. If steaming 4× 30 minutes per week, the appliance must be descaled
– depending on water hardness – roughly as follows:
We recommend you descale the appliance whenever the warning appears in the
display.
Failure to descale the appliance will likely impair the functioning of or cause damage
to the appliance.
Suitable descaling solution
For descaling, only use the special descaler especially developed
for this appliance and which is available at all good chemists.
This special descaler enables you to achieve a gentle yet profes-
sional level of descaling for your appliance.
