ENGLISH
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.
1
Make sure the appliance is switched off.
2
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 (Fig. ‚).
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 (Fig. e) and flush it out (Fig. ‚).
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.
Storage
1
Empty the water tank before you store the appliance (Fig. ‚).
2
Make sure all parts are clean and dry before you store the appliance (refer to
the chapter “Cleaning and descaling”).
3
Store the appliance with the blade unit in the jar to prevent damage.
4
Always make sure that the lids for both the water tank and the jar are
correctly locked in place for storage.
Recycling
Do not throw away the product with the normal household waste at the end of its
life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help
to preserve the environment.
