If you cannot buy anti-calc refill due to any
reasons, you are advised to use distilled
water rather than tap water in order to use the
appliance.
You cannot remove anti-calc refill until the
water reservoir is pulled out.
If the anti-calc refill container has not been
installed properly, you will hear continuously
repeated sound signal and the anti-calc refill
replacement indicator
is going to blink on
the LCD display.
If the anti-calc refill has been installed while the
appliance was switched off, the electronic anti-
calc system will be unable to recognize that the
anti-calc refill has been replaced.
Never use waste anti-calc refills and do not
leave an empty anti-calc container. It can cause
damages to the appliance and to the electronic
system.
SELF-CLEANING SYSTEM

WATER HARDNESS TEST
Water hardness test allows you to set the parameters of the
steam generator optimally to the quality of water. To test
water hardness, follow the procedures below:
1 Unpack the water hardness tester.
2
Fill a glass or other container with tap water and immerse
test strip in water for approximately 60 seconds.
3 Read the level of water hardness.

ANTI-CALCIFICATION SYSTEM AND THE ANTI-
CALC REFILL INDICATOR
Your appliance has an electronic monitoring system to
control the level of the anti-calc refill wear. The anti-calc
refill is applied to clean water and remove its permanent
and temporary hardness. The refill contains anti-calcification
ingredients. Depending on the water hardness level and
the refill wear, you have to replace the refill when you
see appropriate signal emitted by the steam generator.
Depending on the selected water hardness level, the
anti-calc refill replacement button will inform you
concerning the need of replacing the anti-calc refill from time
to time.
REPLACING THE ANTI-CALC REFILL
1
You see the anti-calc refill replacement indicator
blinking on the LCD display.
2 Leave the steam generator switched on.

Release the water reservoir catch and pull the water
reservoir out.
4 Pull the anti-calc refill container out.
5
Wait for 5 sec after completing the step 4 before
installing again the anti-calc refill container into the steam
generator.
