• Knock off or brush away any limescale as much as pos -
sible (do not use a wire brush).
If the parts are heavily calcified, place them in an 8%
formic acid solution ( observe safety notes in chap-
ter 7.5
), until the limescale comes off.
• Finally wash parts in a lukewarm soap solution and rinse
well with tap water.
Heating electrodes • Immerse the heating electrodes (up to 2 cm below the
snap fastening) in a container with 8-percent formic acid
( observe safety notes in chapter 7.5 ). Allow the acid
to take effect until the limescale has dissolved.
Note: The heating elements do not have to be entirely
free from scale.
• Finally rinse the heating electrodes well with tap water
and let them dry.
CAUTION : On no account remove limescale from the heat -
ing electrodes using tools (screw driver, scraper, etc.) or by
striking. This could damage the heating elements!
Water hoses • Remove any limescale by slightly knocking on the tubes
using a rubber hammer. Then, rinse the tubes well with
hot tap water.
