Descaling The Water Tank - Philips AVENT SCF883 Manual

Descaling the water tank

For optimum performance, we recommend descaling the appliance every 4 weeks. To
reduce the build up of limescale, we recommend using soft or purified water for steaming,
reheating or defrosting.
To descale the appliance, follow the descaling instructions below.
1
Make sure the appliance is switched off.
2
Mix 80 ml of white vinegar (6 % acetic acid) with 80 ml of water, or you can use
citric acid with warm water to descale the water tank.
3
Add the solution to the boiler in the water tank.
4
Put the water tank lid on the water tank and turn the lid clockwise to lock it
securely in place.
5
Wait for 6 hours/overnight or until all limescale has dissolved.
6
Pour the used solution out of the water tank.
7
If the limescale buildup has not completely dissolved, repeat the descaling cycle
from step 1 to 6 in this chapter.
8
Pour some fresh water into the water tank and flush it out. Repeat as necessary
until the water tank is clean.
9
Rinse the water tank lid thoroughly under the tap.
10
Fill the water tank with 200 ml of water and let the appliance complete a
20-minute steaming cycle with the empty jar before you use the appliance with
food again.
