Switch the power switch back “On”.
Repeat this procedure (step 1 till 4) several times with de-scaling agent.
After you have made sure that the appliance is totally clean, let the descaling agent pour out of the appliance through the drain plug on the left side of the appliance.
Now pour clean water in the water reservoir and repeat step 1 till 4 several times to make sure that there are no scraps of the descaling agent left in the appliance. The smell and taste of the descaling agent should fully be disappeared. Take every time new clean water for this.
The appliance is now ready for use again.
