 Open the hand-spray gun and do not
close it during the decalcification proc-
ess.

ing temperature of 40 °C.

temperature is reached.
 Switch off the appliance and let it stand
for 20 minutes. The hand-spray gun
must remain opened.
 Then pump out the machine until emp-
ty.

neutralising the acid residue, we recom-
mend that you finally pump an alkaline so-
lution through the machine (for e.g. RM 81)
via the detergent tank.
