Note
Write down the first use date of the decalcification car-
tridge on the warning label.Please label with a water-
proof pen.
Note
The anti-calcification effect of the decalcification car-
tridge is activated as soon as the reservoir is filled with
water, and the device is put into operation. Lime in the
water is absorbed by the granulate in the decalcification
cartridge. Additional descaling is not required.
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.
