Descaling:
- Limescale deposits cause power losses and shorten the lifespan of an
appliance.
- We recommend regularly removing limescale deposits with a descaling
agent in accordance with the water quality bin your area and how often
the device is used.
- For descaling, instead of just using water, fill the water tank with a
mixture of water and descaling agent and then allow the cleaning
program to run.
- A standard descaling agent for kitchen equipment can be used for
descaling.
- Consult the instructions for using the descaling agent with regards to the
ratio of water to descaling agent.
After descaling, perform at least 3 three cleaning runs with water to flush
the lines, etc.
