Descaling
The manufacturer recommends to descale
the appliance regularly, as a heavily
calcified appliance increases the power
consumption.
• The intervals at which you should
descale the appliance depend on the
hardness of the water used and the
frequency of use. Descale the
appliance every 3 months for normal
use and soft water and 1x per
month for hard water.
• Information about the water
hardness can be obtained from the
responsible waterworks.
• Descale the appliance at the latest if
the boiling process takes a long time
or if heavy lime deposits have
formed on the heating plate in the
water tank.
• Fill the descaling liquid into the
water tank. For this purpose, you
can mix household vinegar with
water in a 1:1 ratio or use
commercial descaler. When using a
descaler, follow the manufacturer's
instructions for use.
• Boil the descaling liquid in the
appliance.
• Leave the liquid to soak for about
half an hour after boiling
• If the calcification is more severe,
boil the liquid a second time.
• Then pour away the liquid.
• Boil fresh tap water and pour away
after boiling.
• Now the appliance is descaled and
you can use it again as usual.
