Descaling
Anti-limescale function
NOTE
►
The iron has an integrated anti-limescale function that reduces limescale
deposits during steam ironing and thus prolongs the life of the steam iron.
However, the anti-limescale function cannot completely prevent the natural
process of limescale build-up.
►
To avoid impairing the anti-limescale function, fill the water tank with tap
water or distilled water only.
Descaling the steam iron
NOTE
►
The steam iron is designed for use with tap water (for information on using
tap water, see section
Filling the water tank
). However, it is necessary
to descale the steam chamber regularly with a descaling agent to remove
limescale residues and thus maintain the maximum performance of the
steam iron.
►
The frequency of descaling depends on the hardness of the water and how
often the appliance is used.
We recommend descaling at least once every two months or as soon as
you notice that the appliance is generating less steam.
►
We recommend using the descaling agent
durgol universal bio fast
decalcifier
to descale the steam iron.
To descale the steam iron, proceed as follows:
1) Remove the plug from the mains power socket. Make sure that the steam iron
has completely cooled down.
2) Empty the water tank of the steam iron completely into a sink via the filler
opening
2
.
