6.3 Rinsing the pressure tank
The unit must be rinsed at least in accordance with the intervals determined in Chap. 4.5.
Danger of scalding due to hot water!
The water in the pressure tank may still be very hot. Be careful when draining the water through
the service opening.
Caution: Danger of chemical burns!
The residual water can be strongly alkaline (brine).
Wear protective goggles and protective gloves during rinsing!
Proceed as follows to rinse the pressure tank:
⇒ Release pressure, see Chap� 5�4�
⇒ Disconnect the unit from the mains power supply�
⇒ Open the tank cap carefully (1, Fig� 1) and remove it�
⇒ Allow the unit to cool down�
⇒ Place the unit so that water can flow from the pressure tank through the service opening (12) into a
sink�
⇒ Open the service opening (see Chap� 4�3)�
⇒ Drain the water completely through the service flap.
⇒ Clean the bottom of the pressure tank as far as possible using the cleaning brush (see scope of deliv-
ery)�
⇒ In doing so, fill with water using the tank cap opening and allow it to drain out through the service open-
ing so that loose calcium residue is rinsed out�
⇒ Repeat the procedure until sufficient cleaning has been achieved.
⇒ If residual calcium deposits are still attached inside the pressure tank after cleaning by rinsing and using
a brush (visual check by looking through the service opening; if required shine a flashlight in the tank
cap opening in the pressure tank), de-scaling is recommended (see Chap� 6�4)�
⇒ Close the service opening (see Chap� 4�3)�
6.3.1 Rinsing program - POWER steamer 2 only
In the case of the POWER steamer 2, the integrated pump and the water supply can be used to automate
rinsing�
To do this:
⇒ The unit is installed as described in Chap� 6�3 and the service opening is open�
⇒ The unit is connected to a water supply, which is on�
⇒ Insert the power plug into a building electrical socket�
⇒ Hold down the ON / OFF button (3, Fig. 1) for 5 seconds until the "Heating / Ready for operation" indi-
cator flashes (flashing quickly).
⇒ Release the ON/ OFF button.
♦ Three rinsing cycles are now performed during which water is pumped for approx� 10 seconds in each
case� The water drains again through the service opening with a pause of approx� 5 seconds between
each rinsing cycle�
♦ The unit is switched off again after the last rinsing cycle.
The rinsing program can be canceled at any time by briefly pressing the ON / OFF button or the steam
button�
⇒ Remove loose deposits during rinsing using a brush�
⇒ Repeat the rinsing cycle until sufficient cleaning has been achieved.
⇒ Close the service opening (see Chap� 4�3)�
6.3.2 Restore conductivity - POWER steamer 2 only
When operating with a water supply that uses distilled water, the salt added on startup must be supple-
mented again. To do so, dissolve a coffee spoon of salt (table salt) in a glass of water and pour into the
filler opening.
The salt is only removed when rinsing or descaling the unit.
That is why it must be added every time after rinsing or descaling the unit.
