CARE AND MAINTENANCE

ANTI-SCALE CARTRIDGE
To extend the life of the appliance and to avoid problems with lime scale, your steam
generator is fitted with an anti-scale cartridge. The life of the anti-scale cartridge
depends on the frequency of use and the hardness of the water in your area.
In a soft water area this should be about 100 uses. Do not put any descaling
products (including vinegar) into the reservoir. This can damage the appliance.
To replace the cartridge:
1. Switch off and unplug your steam generator
2. Allow your steam generator to cool down for at least 1 hour
until the soleplate is cold.
3. Remove the water tank from the front of the unit.
4. Pull the anti scale cartridge vertically out of the water tank.
Note that the cartridge may contain water when it is removed (Fig A).
5. Fit the new cartridge and push it down firmly into the water tank.
6. Refill and refit the water tank.
7. Plug in your steam generator.
8. Once the appliance is ready, pull the steam trigger until the steam is being
produced. This will prime the system.
Important: Using the appliance without changing the cartridge can cause a reduction
in the generated steam output and damage the appliance. The guarantee will not
cover damage caused to the appliance by not changing the anti- scale cartridge
when required.

until the soleplate is cold.
3. Remove the reservoir from the front of the unit. The filter is behind the reservoir.
