Cleaning of water tank and covers –
weekly (15 – 25)
Clean the water tank, top cover, fragrance
container and steam pipe with a soft plastic
brush and dish detergent and rinse well (17).
Decalcification-Mode
Only use EZCal and EZCal Pro for decalcification. Damage
that is caused by the use of other cleaning agents is not
covered by the warranty.
The Decalcification-Mode enables simple cleaning and
decalcification of the steam tray, water base, and steam
pipe.
The Anti-Mineral-Pad needs to be removed, before starting
the Decalcification-Mode (18) (see section about Anti-
Mineral-Pad). Dissolve the EZCal or EZCal Pro decalcifica-
tion agents in 32 oz / 1 L of warm water and pour into
the water base (19). Then reinsert the steam pipe and
top cover (20). Pressing and holding button A for 5 se-
conds switches the appliance to Decalcification-Mode
(21). Decalcification-Mode is shown on the display by the
flashing symbol E (22). The value «4h» is shown flashing
on the display. Button C can be used to change the de-
calcification period from 1h to 9h, depending on the le-
vel of soiling (22). After 3 seconds without further input,
the set value is taken as «desired value» and the flash-
ing display changes back to «CURRENT». The unit he-
ats up the EZCal and EZCal Pro-water solution during
Decalcification-Mode and shuts off after it is finished.
The heating of the water takes place every 30 minutes
while the Decalcification-Mode is active. The cleaning
period is now permanently displayed and switches to
minutes when the time falls below the 1 hour mark. The
cleaning period can be changed at any time by pressing
button C. At the end of the cleaning period, a short dou-
ble signal is sounded, the display shows the value «0h»
and the cleaning symbol E will rapidly flash (23). Press-
ing button A ends the Decalcification-Mode and switches
off the appliance (23).
CAUTION: The water base must now be emptied of the
EZCal and EZCal Pro and rinsed (24 – 25). Make sure no wa-
ter enters through the ventilation opening (25). Tip: In case
of excessive lime scale, decalcify overnight (12 to 15 hours).
Cleaning the housing – once or twice
annually (26).
Clean the housing with a damp rag and wipe it dry; use a
cleaning agent suitable for plastic if needed.
After usage
• Switch the appliance off by pressing button A (27).
• Disconnect power plug (15).
• Wait until the appliance has completely cooled off.
• Empty any remaining water and clean the water tank
and the water base. Decalcify if necessary.
