8.2 Descaling the water reservoir
When in use, scale may be deposited in
the appliance. So that the appliance will
function properly and without wasting
energy it should be de-scaled regularly.
When to de-scale?
•
Depending on the use and the hardness
of the water, we recommend that the
appliance is visually inspected at regular
intervals for the presence of scale.
•
Remove the transparent blending tray
regularly. The appliance should be de-
scaled if the bottom of the reservoir is
covered with loose scale or the walls are
seriously covered with scale.
•
Sometimes removing only the loose
scale residues will be sufficient.
8.2.1Removing loose scale residues
1.
Switch the appliance off and remove the
plug from the wall socket.
2.
Turn off the water supply tap and
disconnect the supply hose.
3.
Remove the reservoir cover.
4.
Take the blender tray out of the water
reservoir vertically. The plastic blender tray
can only be removed easily if the water in
the water reservoir has cooled down.
Hint! If this takes too long, place an empty
thermos jug under the sliding filter and
pour cold water into the reservoir by
hand. The water will leave the reservoir
and enter the thermos jug by way of the
sliding filter. This will cool the reservoir
more quickly.
5.
Invert the appliance over the sink so that
the water and the loose scale drain out.
8.2.2 Removing other scale deposits
The ANIMO de-scaler can be used for removing
other scale deposits.
Note!
The reservoir is still empty, since the loose
scale residues are removed first.
1.
First take careful note of the warning and
the instructions on the sachet of ANIMO
de-scaler.
2.
Dissolve two 50 gramme sachets of
ANIMO de-scaler in 2 litres of hot water.
3.
Insert an empty sliding filter into the filter
holder and place an empty thermos jug on
the foot plate.
4.
Pour the acid solution into the reservoir
and top the reservoir up to just under the
syphon (Fig. 3B).
5.
Allow the solution to take effect for about
10 minutes.
6.
Draw off a quantity of the acid at the hot
water outlet and pour it back into the
reservoir.
7.
Replace the transparent blender tray in the
reservoir (Fig. 3A).Take care! place the
blender tray in the reservoir with the arrow
pointing towards the sliding filter.
8.
Pour one jug of cold water into the
reservoir, so that the solution flows from
the reservoir and enters the thermos jug
by way of the sliding filter.
9.
Place an empty thermos jug under the
sliding filter and pour the solution from
the full thermos jug into the reservoir.
10.
Repeat this action three times more.
Take care: empty the thermos jug under
the sliding filter in time!
11.
Again remove the transparent blender
tray vertically from the reservoir and
rinse it in hot water. Empty the reservoir
and rinse it thoroughly.
12.
Recommission the appliance as
described in Section 6, Commissioning.
