Cleaning/Renewal of Parts Internal parts (with the exception of the Thermostat Assembly) can be cleaned using a mild proprietary inhibited scale solvent e.g. domestic kettle descalent. After descaling, always rinse parts thoroughly in clean water before refitting. Note! The body interior must be cleaned carefully and not damaged in any way. Do not use any abrasive material.
Troubleshooting Fault Diagnosis Read the section “Important Safety Information” first. If any maintenance is required then it must be carried out by a competent tradesperson. Before replacing any parts make sure that the underlying cause of the malfunction has been resolved. Warning! There are no user serviceable components beneath the casing of the appliance.
