Notes

Important: Wipe over the appliance with a soft damp cloth to ensure that you immediately remove any traces of descaling solution. It is possible for corrosion to form underneath such deposits. New sponge cloths may contain salts that can cause rust films to form on stainless steel, so such cloths should always be thoroughly rinsed before use. Clean the suction pipe of the drinks outlet particularly carefully. The appliance has finished descaling and is ready for use again.
