Close the appliance, connect it to the mains and set the time to 15 minutes. Should there still be a layer visible after the 15 minutes are over, repeat the procedure. After the vinegar and the appliance have sufficiently cooled off empty the base. Rinse the base 1 3 to 4 times with warm water. Any remaining calcium can be removed from the steam accelerator with a brush. Subject to change without notice.
