function properly anymore. To keep this appliance
in optimum condition and to ensure it's operation,
it is crucial that you descale the appliance on a reg-
ular basis. Depending on the hardness of the water
and the frequency of use, you need to repeat the
following procedure regularly.
Use to decalcify the ice cube maker use a descal-
EN
ing agent that also is used for e.g. coffee makers.
You can also use citric acid or cleaning vinegar as
a de-scaling agent. To ensure the proper mixture
read the instructions supplied with the agent.
1. Fill the water reservoir with the de-scaling agent
according to the terms of the agent. Never ex-
ceed the maximum level.

descaling agent will be spread through the ap-
pliance.
5. Switch the power switch back "On".
6. Repeat this procedure (step 1 till 4) several times

totally clean, let the descaling agent pour out of
the appliance through the drain plug on the left
side of the appliance.
8. Now pour clean water in the water reservoir and
