DE-SCALING THE KETTLE
For de-scaling you may use white vinegar. However, we recommend to use the
GASTROBACK® Premium Descaler (Art.-No.: 98175). This descaler is containing
special additives for preserving the seals and metal surfaces thus maintaining high
performance of Gastroback appliances.
WARNING:
Do not breath-in any vapours escaping from de-scaling solu-
tions to avoid injuries to your respiratory tracts. Always ensure good ventilati-
on during de-scaling.
1. When using the Gastroback Premium Descaler, prepare 1200 ml (1,2 litres) of
the descaling solution according to the instructions on the pack. Alternatively mix
400 ml white vinegar with 800 ml of water.
2. Fill the descaling solution in the kettle. Close the kettle via the lid ring and lid
(see: ‘Operation / Preparing the Appliance for Operation’). Simply leave the
kettle stand for at least 1 hour.
3. To assist de-scaling, if the interior of the kettle is coated with large amounts of
scale: You may warm up the solution to
the lowest possible temperature
(pro-
gram “60 °C / Sencha”).
Ensure good ventilation
, and keep the kettle closed
via the lid set. As soon as the solution is heated and the appropriate acoustic
signal is given, cancel operation (hold the “Start/Stop” button pressed until the
signal sounds). Leave the solution cool down within the kettle for at least 1 hour.
4. Empty the kettle and rinse the interior of the kettle and lid set with clear tap water.
5. Repeat the steps 1 to 4, if there is still any scale left.
6. Then fill the kettle to the “MAX” filling level (1200 ml) with clear tap water and
bring the water to the boil (program “100°C / Hot water”). Thereafter, discard
the water, wait until the kettle cooled down, then rinse the kettle and lid set
again.
7. If there are any odours of descaler left, repeat step 6.
