Care and Maintenance Descaling When using tap water for steaming, limescale is deposited in the steam chamber; heavy deposits reduce the quantity of steam produced. For descaling use lukewarm water and vinegar essence ­ mixing ratio 1:1. Pour the mixture into the appliance when cold and disconnected from the mains (Figure 3). Proprietary brands of descaler are too aggressive and must not be used!
