Cleaning and care

Descaling

,To prevent the risk of damage only use the descaling agent supplied with the appliance (see "Accessories supplied").

Descaling must be carried out on a cold appliance to prevent harmful vapours forming.

The descaling agent is caustic. Avoid contact with the skin and do not inhale the vapours.

If you do come into contact with descaling agent it should be rinsed off immediately with plenty of fresh water. In the event of an adverse reaction or if it has been inhaled or ingested, seek medical help. Replace the lid securely after use and keep out of the reach of children.

Do not spill descaling agent on metal surfaces. This could cause marks. Any spillages should be wiped away immediately.

The appliance will alert you after a certain number of operating hours that the steam generator needs to be descaled. When the appliance is switched on the k symbol, the Descale programme symbol k and the number 10 will appear in the programme/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,

a9 will appear in the display the next time the appliance is switched on, and so on.

The appliance will then lock and it must be descaled before it can be used again. We recommend that you descale the appliance before it locks out.

The descaling process can only be stopped by switching off the appliance. If the appliance is switched back on, after interrupting it, a rinse cycle will be carried out automatically (see "Problem solving guide").
