Automatic rinsing
The automatic rinse function clears
the steam generator of mineral depos-
its from the evaporated water.
After approx. 3litres 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. During the process, some
steam escapes from the residual water
drawer and splashing noises can also
be heard. The message Appliance
rinsing will appear 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.
Preparing for the rinsing process
Set the steam ironing system to its
highest working position to enable
the residual water drawer to be re-
moved later on (see “Height adjust-
ment”).
If the message Fill water cont. ap-
pears in the display, fill the water
container (see “Filling the water con-
tainer”).
Emptying the residual water drawer
After the rinsing process has com-
pleted, the residual water drawer must
be emptied. The message Empty
drawer will appear in the display on the
control panel when the residual water
drawer needs to be emptied. The re-
sidual water drawer can be removed
from the tower when the steam ironing
system is set at its highest working
level.
Only remove the residual water
drawer from the tower when promp-
ted to do so by the message
Empty drawer in the display.
The residual water drawer may still
be warm after the rinsing process.
Empty the residual water drawer.
As long as the residual water drawer is
not inserted into the tower, the display
will show the following message Fit
drawer.
Clean and dry the residual water
drawer.
