body. Then the water shortage indicator will turn off and the
product can start to work properly again.
• Scale inhibition box (for NI-GT500 only)
Advanced anti-calc technology.
∙ When water is added into the water tank, the scale inhibitor
in the scale inhibition box will be slowly dissolved into the
water to prevent scale accumulation and stabilize the steam.
The service life of the scale inhibitor is about five years.
∙ Cleaning frequency: about once a year.
∙ Conditions of use: Assumed that 250 ppm hard water is used
and the product is used two or three times a week in average
(about 20 minutes each time).
∙ After each use, please drain residual water in the water tank
to make the scale inhibitor more stable.
∙ Water may leak when the iron sprays steam at the beginning.
Please press the steam level adjustment button to set the
steam level to "QUICK CARE" or rest the iron on the power
base for about 15 seconds.
∙ Do not remove the scale inhibition box.
∙ To replace the inhibition box, please send your product to an
authorized service center.

accumulatively (for NI-GT200 only)
∙ When the product has been used for up to 3,100 minutes
accumulatively (for NI-GT500 only)
The descaling indicator will turn on, indicating that
accumulated scale and other impurities in the product need
