External cleaning guidelines
WARNING: Always disconnect the plug from the mains and allow to
cool before cleaning.
To clean, wipe the outside of your autofill water boiler with a damp cloth. It is
recommended that this is done daily. Stubborn stains may be removed using a
good stainless steel cleaner or non-abrasive cleaner.
Hard to reach areas should be cleaned using a small bristle brush and mild
cleaner.
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive cleaners on your water boiler as this could
scratch the finish of your water boiler.

Easy descale procedure
When to descale
Burco recommend that its appliances are descaled as part of the regular planned
preventative maintenance schedule at least every 3 months. This may be required
more periodically if the appliance is being operated in a hard water area. Failure to
descale the appliance periodically could cause the appliance to cut out to protect the
element in the event of excessive scale build up. If the appliance stops heating and all
lights on the front of the appliance go out, the first thing you should do is to complete
the following descale procedure.
Descaling
1
Switch off the appliance on the front panel.
2
Remove lid and prepare for descale.
•
Remove the black plastic lid by lifting up. You may need a screwdriver to lever the
lid off the stainless casing.
•
Unscrew the large, square, black cap (twist anticlockwise).
3
Drain down tank.
•
Take front panel off (see instructions above (page 7)
•
Drain the tank through the normal operating tap, this will ensure there is still a
small volume of water in the tank.
4
Pour the descale liquid or powder into the tank.
5
Switch on the appliance and allow to fill and boil, activating the descle solution.
This process will take approx 40 minutes.
6
Switch off the appliance.
7
Drain down the tank completely using the tank drain down valve. Connect a hose
(supplied) to the drain valve and drain into a vessel or drain to dispense of the
water.
8
CLOSE THE DRAIN VALVE!
9
Fill the tank with fresh water through the plastic cap on top of the unit and drain
the tank again.
10
Reasemble your appliance, refitting the front cover, tank cap and lid. Your
appliance will now operate normally.
In hard water areas where a large build up of scale has formed, you may need to
remove the tank lid and physically scrape the scale from the tank and level sensing
probes. If this is required, ensure care is taken not to damage the level sensing probes.
Tap failure
•
Scale build up can cause your tap to drip when it is in a closed position. If your
tap should fail to operate follow the procedures below:
•
Remove front panel of unit. (See procedure on page 8).
WARNING: The only parts you should touch behind the front panel
are the two red isolation valves. Touching any other part will put you in
danger of receiving an electric shock.
•
Isolate tap by turning tap isolation valve clockwise
•
Unscrew the top of the tap from the body of the tap.
•
If scale is present (white/yellow chalky substance), wipe, scrape and break the
scale away from the rubber flexible seal and also from the sealing surface inside
the body of the tap.
•
Replace top of tap, screwing it firmly back into the base. Open the isolation valve
behind tap. If dripping has stopped replace front panel and follow descale
process (see page 8). If tap continues to drip call the Burco customer helpline.
IMPORTANT Failure to de-scale will invalidate your guarantee.
