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
(20)
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.
Replacing the anti-scale cartridge (20)
1.
To access the anti-scale cartridge, first remove
the water tank
(17)
as described in step 3 of
‘Steam cleaning floors’, page 5.
2.
Firmly grip the sides of the anti-scale cartridge
and pull upwards and away from the product.
There may be excess water that could spill from
the cartridge.
3.
Replace with the new anti-scale cartridge,
pushing firmly into place. Replacement cartridges
can be purchased by calling our UK helpline
directly on:
0844 873 0726
or logging onto

The resin crystals within the cartridge are a mild
irritant. Do not break open the cartridge.

Steam cleaning floors (continued)
Hold the floorhead
(23)
to the floor with your foot
and tilt the steam cleaner back.
Press and hold the steam trigger
(1)
to emit
steam from the floorhead. To stop steam, release
the steam trigger.
Move the steam cleaner backwards and forwards
across the floor.

If attempting to steam clean a heavily soiled area,
it may be necessary to operate the vibrate
function. This will vibrate the floorhead
(23)
to
help agitate the dust and dirt. To use this function,
press the vibrate button
(12)
. To stop the vibrate
function, press the vibrate button again.
