Due to physical/chemical decalcification process, the formation of
steam may be reduced immediately after decalcification.
Please continue to use the steam bath normally, the formation of visible
steam stabilises again after approx. 2-3 steam bath runs.
The decalcification cycle for the steam generator depends on the water hard-
ness. The different water hardness areas result in varying running times (steam
times), before the steam generator needs to be decalcified.
Determination of the water hardness
You can use the test strips supplied and the corresponding colour table to de-
termine the water hardness range.
Plunge the test strip in fresh tap water for approx. 1 second and shake off
-
surplus water.
After waiting for approx. 1 minute, compare the test strip with the colour table.
-
Based on the colour of the test strip, you can read off the degree of water hard-
ness from the colour table.
Setting the water hardness range.
The steam bath is factory set for the water hardness area 4 (very hard).
Keep the
-
key pressed for approx. 5 seconds until
H
is shown on the left of
the display.
The water hardness range currently set (
1
to
4
) is shown on the right of the dis-
play. Use the
and
keys to set the water hardness range required.
Press the
key again to save the changed target water hardness range or it is
saved automatically after approx. 5 seconds.
Anti-lime management (ALM) and decalcification programmes
Three hours before reaching the decalcification cycle (dependent on the
water hardness range set),
CALC
is displayed when the steam bath is switched
on and off (flashes 3 x, AKM).
If no decalcification takes place before the remaining steam period expires, the
control mechanism automatically blocks the operation of the steam bath.
If the steam bath is then switched on, the information
CALC
flashes on the
display for approx. 10 seconds. Following this, the steam bath switches off again
automatically.
The display shows the time again.

BAD steam generators with the Vision
2000 sensor and filling opening on the DE 1005 (6 KW) / DE 1050 steam generator
If the steam generator DE1005 is not connected to a drain, a bucket (10
litres) must be placed under the drainage tube when decalcifying.
