Pour the descaling solution into the boil-
er and allow it to react for approximately 
8 hours.

WARNING

Do not screw the steam boiler cap on the 
appliance during the descaling. Do not use 
the steam cleaner as long as there is des-
caling agent in the boiler.

Î

Empty the descaling solution after 8 
hours. A small amount of the solution 
will remain in the boiler. Therefore, you 
should rinse the boiler two to three

manual nozzle (E1), and the round

er have been pre-washed and can be used 
immediately for working with the steam 
cleaner.

cloth covers in the washing machine at
