Decalcifying the screen elements
The error messages Er33, Er55 or an excessive rise in the frequency of cleaning cycles (counter)
indicate that there are limescale deposits on the screen elements. (→ Reading out the number of
cleaning cycles)
Oase recommends that you descale the unit every two to three months as a preventative meas-
ure if the water is very hard.
Recommended descaling process:
•
Place screen elements in vinegar concentrate (20 ... 25 % acid) and let them soak for at
least 30 minutes until the limescale deposits have dissolved.
or
Sprinkle citric acid powder onto moistened screen elements and allow it to react for at least
•
30 minutes until the limescale deposits have dissolved.
How to proceed:
1. Remove the screen element. (→ Removing the screen element)
2. Remove limescale from the screen element.
– Do not remove the rubber seal of the screen element.
3. Scrub the screen element with a soft brush under running water and rinse well.
4. Refit the screen element.
