Your appliance is equipped with the patented auto-
matic Self Clean system. Automatic Self Clean sig-
nificantly 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 to18 °dH (to 3.2 mmol/litres) at least 1x annually
up to24 °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, depen-
ding on the composition of the water (e.g. mine-
rals).
