• For very effective descaling first follow the
instructions in section "Descaling" of the
instructions for use. However, interrupt the
descaling procedure once or twice after
pumping and steaming hot vinegar and let the
vinegar act on the scale for at least half an
hour. Then continue the procedure.
• If no more (or too little) hot water comes
out of the outlet opening: clean/descale the
perforated outlet plate.
Switch off and unplug the appliance and let it
cool down.
With the help of a screwdriver or coin unscrew
the outlet plate (fig. 36, 37). Clean with a firm
brush.
To descale, leave the plate immersed in
ordinary vinegar for min. 15 minutes. Use the
brush to remove loose scale remainders.
Rinse with clean water.
• If much water leaks from the outlet
opening and/or steam pipe: clean/descale
the valve.
Follow the instructions in the previous section.
