Descale
The appliance must be descaled regularly in order for it
to continue operating correctly.
There are several steps in the descaling programme. All
steps must be completed in full. Only after this is the
appliance ready for use again.
Note: If you touch the ÿ On/Off button during the
descaling programme, the process is interrupted and
the appliance switches off. Once the appliance has
been switched back on again, it must first be rinsed
twice in order to remove any remaining descaling
solution from the appliance. The appliance is locked for
other applications until the second rinsing cycle is
complete.
■ Descale (approx. 30 minutes), then empty the
evaporator dish and refill the water tank
■ First rinsing cycle (20 seconds), then empty the
evaporator dish
■ Second rinsing cycle (20 seconds), then remove the
remaining water
The frequency with which the appliance must be
descaled depends on the hardness of the water used.
When only five more steam-assisted operations are
possible, or fewer, the appliance reminds you to
descale it with a message on the display. The number
of remaining operations is displayed after the appliance
is switched on. You can therefore prepare for the
descaling in good time.
Starting
Caution!
Damage to the appliance: Use only liquid descalers that
are recommended by us for the descaling programme.
Other descalers may damage the appliance.
Descaler order no.: 311 680

Descaling solution: Do not allow any descaling solution
to come into contact with the control panel or other

this does happen, remove the descaling solution
immediately with water.
1. Mix 300 ml water with 60 ml liquid descaler to make

Descaling the evaporator dish only
You can also use "Descale" if you do not wish to
descale the whole appliance, but only the evaporator
dish in the cooking compartment.
The only difference is as follows:
1. Mix 100 ml water with 20 ml liquid descaler to make
a descaling solution.
2. Completely fill the evaporator dish with descaling
solution.
3. Fill the water tank with water only.
4. Start "Descale" as described.
You can also descale the evaporator dish manually.
