Descaling
The appliance must be descaled regularly in order for it
to continue operating correctly.
There are several steps in the descaling programme.
For hygiene reasons, the descaling programme must
be run through completely so that the appliance can be
ready for operation again.
■ 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
If descaling is interrupted (for example, due to a power
failure or because the appliance is switched off), you
are prompted to continue with the descaling
programme after the appliance is switched back on.
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.

Caution!
■ Damage to the appliance: Use only liquid descalers
that are recommended by us for the descaling
programme. The time the product needs to work
during descaling depends on the type of descaler
used. Other descalers may damage the appliance.
Descaler order no. 311 680
■ Descaling solution: Do not allow any descaling
solution or descaler to come into contact with the
control panel or other delicate surfaces. This will
damage the surfaces. If this does happen, remove
the descaling solution immediately with water.
1. Mix 300 ml water with 60 ml liquid descaler to make
a descaling solution.
2. Remove the water tank and fill with descaling
solution.
3. Fully insert the water tank filled with the descaling
solution.
4. Close the appliance door.
5. Touch the # touch button.
6. Touch the 0 touch button.
7. Use the ( or ) button to select "Descale ,".
8. Use the & button to navigate to the next line.
The duration of the descaling programme is
displayed. It cannot be changed.
9. Use the & button to navigate to the next line.
10. Touch the # touch button.
The appliance is descaled. The time counts down on
the display. As soon as the descaling programme
has finished, an audible signal sounds.
First rinsing cycle
1. Remove the descaling solution from the evaporator
dish using the cleaning sponge.
2. Remove the water tank, rinse thoroughly, fill with
water and reinsert.
3. Close the appliance door.
4. Touch the # touch button.
The appliance rinses. The first rinsing cycle ends
after around 20 seconds.
5. Open the appliance door.
6. Thoroughly rinse out the cleaning sponge with water.
7. Remove the remaining water in the evaporator dish
using the cleaning sponge.
8. Proceed with the second rinsing cycle.
Second rinsing cycle
1. Remove the water tank, rinse thoroughly, fill with
water and reinsert.
2. Close the appliance door.
3. Touch the # touch button.
The appliance rinses. The second rinsing cycle ends
after around 20 seconds.
4. Remove the remaining water in the evaporator dish
using the cleaning sponge.
5. Wipe out the cooking compartment using the
cleaning sponge and then dry with a soft cloth.
6. Switch off the appliance.
Descaling is complete and the appliance is ready for
use again.
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.
