Descaling
Whenever steam is produced, depending on the hardness of the local water
supply (i.e. the limescale content of the water), limescale is deposited in the
boiler.
The appliance automatically recognises when descaling is necessary.
– «Boiler scaled up,» «please descale!» appears in the plain text display.
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:
We recommend you descale the appliance whenever the warning appears in
the plain text display.
Failure to descale the appliance will likely impair the functioning of or cause
damage to the appliance.
