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.

2  As the base unit now knows the hardness of the water in your area, it will tell you 

when to change the anti-scale cartridge (flashing 

P

 on the display).

,

 You must change the cartridge while the base unit is plugged in and switched on, 

otherwise it won’t register the new cartridge.

caution

, turn the temperature control down as far as it’ll go, 

and let the iron cool while you try to remember where you put the spare cartridge.

4  Tuck a folded towel under the front of the base unit, as you’re sure to spill.

5  Remove the reservoir, otherwise it’ll empty itself through the cartridge tray.

hen the iron has cooled down, use one hand to steady the base unit.

7  Put the fingers of the other hand up and under the front of the cartridge tray.

8  The next part is just a bit tricky.
9  The cartridge is full of water, which will spill as soon as you pull the tray out.

10  If you can pull the tray out, and, at the same time, tilt it so that the rear of the tray is 

higher than the front, then you won’t spill very much.

11  Give it a try, it’s easier than juggling.
12  Tip the old cartridge into the sink to drain.
