Descaling the water tank and the appliance
If you use non-distilled water, limescale will build up inside the appliance

escaping from the appliance. Therefore, we recommend you perform descaling
once a month as follows:
- Switch off the steamer and disconnect its power supply by removing the plug from the wall socket.
- Allow the appliance to cool down. (at least 30 minutes).
- Fill the water tank with 1:1 mixture of vinegar and water.
- Connect the appliance to the mains and press the steam switch briefly to allow the solution to travel the inside of the appliance.
- Disconnect from the mains and leave the solution in the appliance for 40 minutes.
- Pour the solution out of the water tank and fill it with clean, preferably distilled water.
- Reconnect to the mains and operate the steamer intermittently (see USE) until the vinegar odour disappears.
