Anti-scale

Limescale
Tap water contains minerals which can result in a
build-up of limescale in the boiler. This can
severely affect the steam output. The anti-scale
cartridge (19) treats the water before it enters the
boiler to minimise the effects of these minerals,
but after a maximum of three months use, it will
lose its effectiveness and must be replaced. This
should be reduced further in areas of very hard
water or if the cleaner is used extensively.
To prevent limescale build-up in the water tank,
never fill the steam cleaner's tank with anything
other than deionised, demineralised or distilled
water (available from most leading supermarkets).
The use of the correct water is an additional
precaution that should be taken to ensure the
performance of the boiler is maximised.
