maintenance work.

can be removed from the heater plate

clean if you pull up the emergency
release catch.

agents.

Cleaning the water reservoir

Limescale deposits in the water reservoir,
caused by hard water, can cause the
steam jets to become blocked. Should
this happen, the limescale deposits can
be removed by rinsing out the water
reservoir with fresh tap water.
^ Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply by switching off at
the socket and withdrawing the plug.
,
Allow the ironer to cool down
before rinsing out the reservoir.
Depending on the hardness level of
your water supply, the reservoir will
need to be rinsed out with tap water
after every 3 to 10 fills of the reservoir.
Stubborn limescale deposits can be
removed with a proprietary descaling
agent.
Make sure that you follow the
manufacturer's instructions on
dosage, concentration and how long
it should be used for.
^ Fill the water reservoir approximately
half full (0.4 litres) with a solution of
descaling agent and replace the
cap.
^ Roll the ironer backwards and
forwards several times.
^ To prevent the risk of damaging
laundry when next ironing with steam,
the reservoir should be rinsed out
twice with fresh tap water after
descaling it.
For instructions on filling and emptying
the reservoir see "Steam".
