Descaling
The appliance must be descaled at regular intervals in order for
it to continue operating correctly. The
Í indicator reminds you
to do this.
You can only dispense with descaling completely if you
exclusively use softened water.
The descaling operation consists of:
■ Descale (approx. 30 minutes), then refill the water tank and
empty the evaporator dish
■ 1st rinse (30 seconds) and then empty the evaporator dish
■ 2nd rinse (30 seconds) and then remove the remaining water
All three steps must be completed in full. The appliance is
ready for operation again only after the 2nd rinse.
Descaler
Only use the liquid descaler recommended by the after-sales
service for descaling (product no. 311138, also available
online from the eShop). Other descalers may damage the
appliance.
1. Prepare a descaling solution by mixing 300 ml water and
60 ml liquid descaler.
2. Empty the water tank and fill with descaling solution.
3. Carefully slide in the water tank with the descaling solution
and close the appliance door.
Caution!
Risk of surface damage: If descaler comes into contact with the
front of the appliance or any other sensitive surfaces, wash it off
immediately with water.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance: If descaler is in the appliance for a
prolonged period, this may damage the water pump. Ensure
that the descaling and rinsing cycles take no longer than three
hours to complete.
