cHaNGING THE aNTI-ScaLE caRTRIDGE
• This is best done when refilling the reservoir, as you’ll have to top up the reservoir after
fitting the new cartridge anyway.
• After removing the reservoir from the base unit, simply lift out the old anti-scale cartridge,
drop in the new one, then top up the reservoir.
REPLacEMENT aNTI-ScaLE caRTRIDGES
• Have the Model No. on hand, as we won’t be able to help you without it. It’s on the rating
plate (usually underneath the product).
• Contact Customer Service for prices and replacements.
DEScaLING THE BOILER
• Descale the boiler every time you replace the anti-scale cartridge.
• Leave it for a minimum of 4 hours to cool down completely (overnight is best).
• Mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of warm water in a jug.
• It’s best to do this on top of a towel on the work surface in the kitchen, as you’re likely to
spill a bit, and you’ll need access to water and a sink (or a basin).
• Remove the reservoir (you’re going to turn the base unit upside down).
• Set the iron down on the work surface – take care not to scratch the soleplate.
• Turn the base unit upside down.
• Unscrew the cap.
• Turn the base unit over, and empty the boiler into the sink.
• Pour the vinegar/water mix into the hole.
• Replace the cap and shake the base unit from side to side.
• Leave it for half an hour, then unscrew the cap again.
• Turn the base unit over, and empty the boiler into the sink.
• Now rinse, to remove scale and vinegar:
a) Unscrew the cap
b) Turn the base unit over, and empty the boiler into the sink
c) Pour fresh water into the hole
d) Replace the cap
• Repeat points a, b, c and d till the water that comes out is clear, free of scale particles,
and doesn’t smell of vinegar.
• Finally, empty the boiler, replace the cap, turn the base unit upright, and store it away.
• Don’t let liquid get into the grille round the hole – if you do, turn the base unit upright, and
leave it somewhere warm for 12 hours, to dry out.
