7. Allow the device to heat up.
8. Press and hold the steam lever for
approximately 30 seconds to vent
the decalcification cartridge.
Setting the water hardness
ATTENTION
Device damage due to calcification
Without a decalcification cartridge, the
device may calcify if the water hard-
ness is set incorrectly.
Always work with a decalcification car-
tridge.
Set the device to the local water hard-
ness.
Set the device to the current water
hardness before using it in an area with
a different water hardness (e.g. after a
move).
Note
Your water board or municipal utilities
authority can provide information on
hardness of tap water.
The water hardness is set using the
RESET button. The water hardness
setting is stored until a new setting
(e.g. after a move) is made. The device
is set to the highest water hardness
(level IV) in the factory. The device in-
dicates the set water hardness with
flash pulses.
Water hardness levels and flash pulses
Note
The anti-calcification effect of the de-
calcification cartridge is activated as
soon as the reservoir is filled with water
and the device is put into operation.
Lime in the water is absorbed by the
granulate in the decalcification car-
tridge. Additional decalcification is not
required.
Note
The granulate in the cartridge can dis-
color on contact with water due to the
mineral content in the water, which is
no cause for concern and has no neg-
ative effects on the device, cleaning
work or the functionality of the car-
tridge.
Note
Do not pause for longer than 15 sec-
onds when setting as the device will
otherwise be set automatically to the
last selected water hardness or the
highest water hardness set during ini-
tial start-up.
1. Plug in the device to an electrical
outlet.
2. Make sure that the device is
switched off.
3. Hold the RESET button pressed and
switch on the device.
