Rinsing the boiler
(once a month)
• Be careful : To extend the life of your boiler and to avoid the building up of scale, it is
essential that you rinse out the boiler at least after every 10 uses (H) (approximately once
a month).
• Check that the generator is cold and unplugged for more than 2 hours.
• Using a jug, fill the boiler 3/4 full with untreated tap water.
• Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely over your sink (I).
• To obtain the best results, we advise you to repeat this operation.
