CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Regular descaling is strongly recommended to enjoy a long life of your device. Descale the machine
at least once a month or more often in regions with hard water.
Descale the machine first if you have not used it for a long time
When you have not used the unit for a longer period of time, it is best to descale it
first, if you have not done so after the last use. Heavy lime deposits in the water pump
can lead to high starting forces at the first start-up, which (greatly) reduces the service
life of your appliance. This may be accompanied by a loud, high-pitched noise for a
few minutes.
11.
Place the device in the smallest possible water tank.
12.
Fill the reservoir to the MAX mark.
13.
Set the temperature to 70°C and let the water warm up.
14.
Add 5 grams of citric acid (food grade) per litre of water.
15.
Allow the device to operate at this temperature for at least 20 minutes.
16.
Switch off the device and unplug the power cord.
17.
Allow the device to cool down to room temperature and remove it from the reservoir.
18.
Rinse the bottom of the machine (which is normally in water) thoroughly with cold water. If
necessary, you can remove the grille by pulling it
gently
downwards until it comes loose,
after which you can polish the metal elements with a soft cloth to remove the last traces of
limescale.
19.
Make sure the machine is completely dry before storing it.
20.
Never hold the machine horizontally or upside down when it is still wet.
Do not leave in water unnecessarily and decalcify first after long standstill
When water dries up in the pump, lime deposits will form. Therefore, never leave the
unit in water longer than necessary.
