Descaling
Whenever steam is produced, irrespective of
the hardness of the local water supply (i.e. the
limescale content of the water), limescale is
deposited inside the steam generator.
The time interval between descaling depends
on the hardness of the water and frequency of
use. If steaming 4×30 minutes per week, the
appliance must be descaled (depending on
water hardness) roughly as follows:
Water hardness
Descale after about
Very soft
18 months
Medium
9 months
Very hard
6 months
The appliance automatically detects when
descaling is necessary and when this happens
the Descale light stays on
. If the Descaling
procedure is not performed, some cooking
cycles after the Descale light starts to flash. If
once again the Descaling procedure is not
performed, some cooking cycles after the oven
functioning is blocked, the Descale light stays
IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to descale the
appliance will likely impair the functioning of
or cause damage to the appliance.
