Automatic rinsing
The automatic rinse function clears
the steam generator of mineral
deposits from the evaporated water.
After approx. 3litres of water have been
passed through the system, the rinse
process will start automatically the next
time the steam ironing system is
switched on.
The rinsing process takes several
minutes. Steam escapes and splashing
noises can be heard. At the same time,
the message Appliance rinsing will be
shown in the display on the tower.
The iron cannot be used while the
rinsing process is in progress.
The steam ironing system can only
be used again once the automatic
rinsing process is completed.

must be emptied. The message
