6. Discard the solution collected in the jug.
7. Fill the reservoir with clean water and turn the appliance back On to flush out the system and remove any descaler residue. Discard the collected water and rinse the jug. Repeat with clean water 2 more times to flush out.
8. Drain the water completely using the drain screw at the back.
