Descaling
Use the descaling tablets supplied
with the appliance (see "Optional
accessories" for reordering details)
or a proprietary citric acid based
descaling agent to descale the
appliance. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
With aluminium or titanium fronted
appliances (see data plate) ensure
that the descaling agent does not
come into contact with these
surfaces as this could cause marks.
However, should any descaling
agent get onto these surfaces, wipe
it away immediately.
The water container will need descaling
after a certain number of operating
hours. The display will alert you when
this needs done.
You will still be able to use it a certain
number of times after which it will lock
out.
If you want to descale the appliance
before it locks out, you can select the
Descale function.
^ Fill the water container with 1 litre of
descaling solution. To make the
solution, use cold water and
descaling tablets, as instructed on
the packet, or the appropriate
amount of citric acid based
household descaling agent.
^ Push the water container into the
appliance until it connects.
^ Confirm "Continue".
It is only possible to cancel the
descaling process during the first
minute. After that the process cannot
be cancelled.
Do not switch the appliance off
during the descaling process. If it is
switched off before the end of the
process, the whole process will have
to be started from the beginning
again.
After 12 minutes, the appliance will
prompt you to fill it with fresh water.
^ Remove the water container and
empty it. Remove the insert.
^ Rinse the water container and the
insert thoroughly.
^ Replace the insert and fill the water
container with 1 litre of water. Push
the water container into the appliance
until it connects.
The descaling process will continue
automatically when the water container
is pushed back into the appliance.
After descaling:
^ Open the door.
^ Remove and empty the water
container.
^ Switch the appliance off, and then
dry it thoroughly.
