Descaling the water tank
For optimum performance, we recommend descaling the appliance every
2-4 weeks. To reduce the buildup of limescale, we recommend using soft
or purified water for steaming.
Do not turn on the appliance with descaling solution in the water tank.
To descale the appliance, follow the descaling instructions below.
1
Make sure the appliance is switched off.
2
Mix 80 ml of white vinegar (6% acetic acid) with 80 ml of water.
Alternatively, you can use citric acid with warm water to descale the
water tank.
3
Add the solution to the water tank.
4
Put the water tank lid on the water tank and turn the lid clockwise to
lock it securely in place.
5
Wait for 6 hours/overnight or until all limescale has dissolved.
6
Pour the used solution out of the water tank.
7
If the limescale buildup has not completely dissolved, repeat the
descaling process in this chapter from step 1 to 6.
8
Pour some fresh water into the water tank and flush it out. Repeat as
necessary until the water tank is clean.
9
Rinse the water tank lid thoroughly under the tap.
10
Fill the water tank with 180 ml of water and let the appliance
complete a steaming cycle with the jar empty before you use the
appliance with food again.
