tably form and must be removed to maintain efficiency. After
about 500 hours of operation, the appliance therefore warns that
descaling is required by displaying the message

with the BOOST function selected until the "no water"
symbol appears on the display.
•Turn off the appliance and unplug from the socket. Empty all
water from the inside of the appliance through the drain

• Close and replace the drain hoses. Pour 2 Liters of clean
water into the tank to rinse the internal circuits of dirt and
descaler.
• Plug in and operate the appliance until the "no water"
symbol appears on the display.
•Turn off the appliance and unplug from the socket. Empty all
rinsing water from the inside of the appliance through the
drain hoses.
