Servicing - Steam generator descaling
Your appliance is equipped with the patented
automatic Self Clean system. Automatic Self Clean
significantly extends the period between descaling
intervals. The steam generator in your appliance
still needs regular descaling, depending on water
hardness and use.
We recommend the following descaling intervals,
based on 8 hours’ steaming per day:
up to 18 °dH (to 3.2 mmol/litres) at least 1x
annually
up to 24 °dH (to 4.3 mmol/litres) at least 2x
annually
over 24 °dH (to 4.3 mmol/litres) at least 3x
annually
These recommended descaling intervals may
vary from the approximate values given above,
depending on the composition of the water
(e.g. minerals).
