care and maintenance
changing the anti-scale cartridge
1 To reduce scale build-up, you must change the anti-scale cartridge regularly. How
often depends on the hardness of your water, and how much you use the iron.

when to change the anti-scale cartridge (flashing

You must change the cartridge while the base unit is plugged in and switched on,
otherwise it won’t register the new cartridge.
