Descaling

When you use the steriliser, small spots may appear on the heating element in the base. This is scale
that is building up. The harder the water, the faster scale builds up. Descale the steriliser at least
every 4 weeks to ensure that it continues to work effectively.
1 Pour 70ml cold water and 30ml white vinegar (8% acetic acid) into the water reservoir.
2 Leave the solution in the water reservoir until the scale has resolved.
3 Empty the water reservoir, thoroughly rinse it and wipe the base with a damp cloth.

Environment

the water reservoir, the baskets
or the lid?

Answer

not pour more than 100ml water in the water reservoir.

areas. Descale the appliance regularly (see chapter 'Descaling').
Check if the lid has been placed on the basket properly.
