4.2 Decalcifying the Aquagrad°
ATTENTION:
Observe the intervals for decalcifying indi-
cated here. A calcified kettle consumes
more energy than necessary and might
even be damaged in the long run.
Decalcify your water kettle regularly depend-
ing on the degree of calcification, but at least
- twice a year
- before any prolonged storage
- if calcification is visible,
- if heating water takes unusually long.
Proceed as follows for decalcifying:
1. Fill the kettle with ordinary vinegar up to
the "Max" Mark.
2. Switch on the appliance using the On/Off
switch "ON/OFF" and bring the vinegar to
a boil.
3. Leave the vinegar in the switched-off ket-
tle over night.
4. Also put the lid with the lime filter into a
vinegar bath over night.
5. Completely discard the vinegar the next
morning.
6. Heat the water kettle to the boiling-point
with fresh water at least twice, pouring
away the water each time.
7. Rinse the water kettle with cold water be-
fore using it again.
NOTE:
You may also use commercially available
decalcifying agents.
observe their possibly different instructions
for use.
