Care and service
Draining the water reservoir
ATTENTION
Device damage due to water putre-
faction
If the device is not put into operation for
more than 2 months, the water in the
tank may putrefy.
Drain the water reservoir before breaks
in operation.
1. Press the OFF switch.
The device is switched off.
2. Pull the mains plug out of the outlet.
3. Remove the accessory/accessories
from the accessory holders.
4. Remove the decalcification car-
tridge from the device.
5. Drain the water reservoir.
Replacing the decalcification
cartridge
ATTENTION
Device damage and shortened ser-
vice life
If the replacement intervals (indicator
light) for the decalcification cartridge
are not observed, there is a risk of de-
vice damage and the service life of the
device may be shortened.
Observe the replacement intervals (in-
dicator light).
Note
The replacement intervals depends on
the local water hardness. Areas with
hard water (e.g. III/IV) have a higher
replacement interval than areas with
soft water (e.g. I/II).
Indicator lamp at end of the run time
The "decalcification cartridge indicator
light" indicates when the decalcifica-
tion cartridge has to be replaced:
 The indicator light flashes 2 hou
rs
before the run time expires.
 The indicator light flashes more
quickly 1 hour before the run time
expires.
 Once the run time for the decalcifi-
cation cartridge has expired, the in-
dicator light lights up constantly and
the device switches off automatically
in order to prevent device damage.
Inserting the decalcification
cartridge
ATTENTION
Device damage
There is a risk of damage to the device
if the used decalcification cartridge is
re-used.
Work carefully in order to prevent mix-
ing up the cartridges.
Note
When steaming for the first time after
removing and reinserting the decalcifi-
cation cartridge, the steam jet may be
weak or irregular, and individual drops
of water may be expelled. The device
requires a short running-in period
during which the decalcification car-
tridge fills with water. The steam vol-
ume that is expelled increases
constantly until the maximum steam
volume has been reached after ap-
prox. 60 seconds.
