Cleaning and care
Descaling
Only use proprietary citric acid based descaling agents or descaling tablets to descale the appliance (available from the Spare Parts Dept). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. Do not use vinegar or descaling agents containing vinegar, as these can cause corrosion.
With aluminium appliances (see data plate) ensure that the descaling agent does not come into contact with the aluminium surfaces as this could cause marks. However, should any descaling agent get onto the aluminium surfaces, wipe it away im- mediately.
The water container will need descaling after a certain number of operating hours. The display will alert you when this needs done. After switching on, the descaling symbol k and the number 10 will appear in the time/temperature display.
The number indicates that the appliance can be used a further 10 times before it locks out. If the appliance is not descaled immediately, a 9 will appear in the display the next time the appliance is switched on, and so on.
The appliance will lock when it has been used 10 times. "DESCALE" will appear in the display and the appliance must be descaled before it can be used again.
Proceed as follows:
^Fill the water container with 1 litre of descaling solution. To make the solution use cold water and the appropriate amount of citric acid based household descaling agent or descaling tablets as instructed on the packaging.
^Turn the function selector to DESCALE k, if this has not appeared automatically in the display.
^Press the selector to confirm your selection.
"Add descaling agent" will appear in the function display.
^Push the water container into the appliance until it connects.
