iMPortant: replacing the anti-CalC cartridge
anti-CalC replacement light
It is very important that you replace the ANTI-CALC cartridge when
the ANTI-CALC cartridge replacement light starts flashing and the
appliance starts beeping.
Note: The cartridge lasts 3 months on average, but this depends on the
hardness of the water you use and on how many hours you iron.
- The ANTI-CALC replacement light starts flashing and the appliance
starts beeping to indicate that the ANTI-CALC cartridge needs to be
replaced.
- You can still continue steam ironing for 15-30 min. (depending on
the hardness of the water used) when the ANTI-CALC replacement
light flashes and the appliance beeps. However, the steam output will
diminish and ultimately the steam generator stops producing steam to
prevent scale build-up that would permanently damage your appliance.
- To let the appliance produce steam again, you have to replace the
ANTI-CALC cartridge. If you do not want to replace the ANTI-CALC
cartridge, you have to use demineralised water or descaled water from
the IronCare. In that case, you need to leave the exhausted cartridge in
the compartment.
