Note

The granulate in the decalcification cartridge may 
change colour after it comes into contact with water. 
This depends on the mineral content in the water. This 
discolouration is harmless and does not have a nega-
tive effect on the device, the cleaning work or the func-
tionality of the decalcification cartridge.

Indicator light at end of the run time

The indicator light shows you when the decalcification 
cartridge needs to be replaced.

●

The indicator light flashes red 1 hour before the run 
time expires.

●

When the run time of the decalcification cartridge is 
exhausted, the indicator light flashes quickly. The 
pump switches off automatically (no water steam) to 
prevent damage to the device.

Inserting the decalcification cartridge

ATTENTION

Device damage

There is a risk of damage to the device if the used de-
calcification cartridge is re-used.
Work carefully in order to prevent mixing up the cartridg-
es.

Installation information

When steaming for the first time after removing and re-
inserting the decalcification cartridge, the steam jet may 
be weak or irregular, and individual drops of water may 
be expelled. The device requires a short running-in pe-
riod in which the decalcification cartridge fills with water. 
The steam volume that is expelled increases constantly 
until the maximum steam volume has been reached af-
ter approx. 50 seconds.

Note

Removing the water reservoir makes it easier to remove 
and install the decalcification cartridge.

1. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
