Descaling the water tank

For optimum performance, we recommend descaling the appliance every 4 weeks. To
reduce the build up of limescale, we recommend using soft or purified water for steaming,
reheating or defrosting.
To descale the appliance, follow the descaling instructions below.

Make sure the appliance is switched off.

Mix 80 ml of white vinegar (6 % acetic acid) with 80 ml of water, or you can use
citric acid with warm water to descale the water tank�
3
Add the solution to the boiler in 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 cycle
from step 1 to 6 in this chapter�
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 200 ml of water and let the appliance complete a
20-minute steaming cycle with the empty jar before you use the appliance with
food again�
