Descaling
To ensure that your appliance continues to operate
correctly, it must be descaled regularly.
Descaling comprises a number of different steps. For
hygiene reasons, the descaling programme must be
run through completely before the appliance is ready
for operation again. In total, the descaling programme
runs for approx. 70–95 minutes.
■
Descale (approx. 55–70 minutes), then empty and
refill the water tank
■
First rinsing cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes), then
empty and refill the water tank
■
Second rinsing cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes), then
empty and dry the water tank
If descaling is interrupted (e.g. due to a power failure or
because the appliance is switched off), you will be
prompted to rinse the appliance twice when you switch
it back on. The appliance cannot be used until the
second rinsing cycle has finished.
The frequency with which the appliance must be
descaled depends on the hardness of the water used.
When only another five or fewer steam-assisted
operations are possible, the appliance reminds you to
descale it with a message on the display. The number
of remaining operations is displayed after the appliance
is switched on. You can therefore prepare for the
descaling in good time.
Starting
Caution!
■
Damage to the appliance: Only use liquid descalers
recommended by us for the descaling programme.
Other descalers may damage the appliance.
Descaler order no.: 311 680
■
Descaling solution: Do not allow the descaling
solution to come into contact with the control panel
or other sensitive surfaces. This will damage the
surfaces. If this does happen, remove the descaling
solution immediately with water.
The descaling programme can only be started once the
cooking compartment has completely cooled down. If
the temperature in the cooking compartment is too
high, a message appears on the display. Wait until the
cooking compartment has cooled down. Then restart
the process.
If you have used a steam-assisted operation
immediately before descaling, you must first switch the
appliance off so that the residual water is pumped out
of the evaporator system.
