ANTI-SCALE CARTRIDGE

To extend the life of the appliance and to avoid problems with lime scale, your steam station 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 water tank. This can damage

the appliance.

To replace the cartridge:

• Switch off and unplug your steam station.

• Allow your steam generator to cool down for at least 1 hour until the soleplate is cold.

• Remove the water tank from the front of the unit.

• Pull the anti -scale cartridge vertically out of the water tank. Note that the cartridge may

contain water when it is removed (Fig A).

• Rellandretthewatertank.

• Plug in your steam generator.

• 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.

FILTER

We recommend that you remove and clean the filter every 6 uses depending on the water

hardness in your area. The warning light/reset button will flash to remind you that the filter needs

cleaning. Doing this will extend the life of the unit.

To remove the filter:

• Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.

•

Allow your steam generator to cool down for at least 1 hour until the soleplate is cold.

CLEANING

• Unplug the steam station when not in use, and before cleaning.

• Allow the iron to cool down completely before cleaning and storing away.

• Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little dishwashing liquid.

• Remove spots, or burnt on fabrics, by ironing a damp cotton or linen cloth with the iron hot.

Take care not to scratch the soleplate.

• Do not immerse the steam station or iron in water or any other liquid.

• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, solvents or scourers on the soleplate as these

will damage the coating.
