Fortunately, this is a very easy process, and we have also added an extra feature to the device for this. Namely the small drain spout at the bottom of the steam tray. When you open this, you can easily empty the device above the sink, in the shower, or in a bath, for example.

1. Remove the plug from the socket and let the device cool down completely (at least half an hour).
2. When the device has cooled down, remove the water reservoir.
3. Unscrew the drain spout on the base station, empty the water into the sink and gently shake the steamer. Allow the water and lime particles to drain away.
4. Fill the water tank with clear and clean water and place it back in the base station of the steamer. You can also add a light dose of vinegar to the water in the water reservoir. Wait 10 seconds. Shake and empty the reservoir again by loosening the spout at the bottom of the base station.
5. Repeat these steps 4 times.

Over time, limescale builds up in your clothes steamer. This process can be compared to, for example, limescale deposits in a kettle. The harder the water in your living area, the faster limescale will form and settle if the deposit is not removed. Regular descaling prevents problems such as white/brown stains on your clothes, brown water and water leakage. If you clean your clothes steamer regularly, the device will not become clogged, it will continue to steam optimally and it will last longer.

Do you notice that the steam emission is decreasing or becoming less strong? Then it is probably time to descale. Use clean, clear water and rinse the clothes steamer 4 times. Use the spout at the bottom of the steamer to empty the steamer.

Prevention is better than cure. Below you can read some tips that can prevent calcification. It is not necessary, but you can empty the water reservoir after each steam session. Do not put your steam iron away while there is still a layer of water in it. You can prevent limescale even better if you use decalcified water. However, "normal" tap water cannot harm the device.

We hebben een handige extra feature toegevoegd aan de Professionele stomer om ontkalken nog eenvoudiger te maken: een klein afvoertuitje aan de onderkant van de stoombak, naast de aan/uit-knop. Door dit tuitje naar links te draaien, kun je het apparaat eenvoudig laten leeglopen boven een gootsteen, in de douche of bijvoorbeeld in een bad.

Vind de draaiknop onderaan de stoomcabine, tussen de wieltjes in het midden. Draai deze open boven een wasbak, badkuip of douche om de stomer te legen. Droog de opening goed af voordat je de draaiknop weer vastdraait.

Gebruik speciaal ontkalk middel (verkrijgbaar in de supermarkt), of maak zelf een middel bestaande uit: water gemengd met witte azijn (1:1).
