Descaling the
PROBOIL
system
:
PROBOIL2X like all other appliances that use hot water can become coated with limescale over time, replacing your filter
frequently will help delay this. Depending on the frequency of your usage pattern and the harder the water in your area,
the quicker you should expect the limescale to build and therefore will need to be cleaned.
There are two key parts of the product that likely will need descaling:
The aerator on the end of the tap/dispenser spout:
If the aerator at the end of the tap spout contains debris or scale then it will reduce the flow rate of the water and may
cause more splashing when in use.
The aerator and its housing can be descaled using ordinary white wine vinegar and water solution.
1)
Press and hold the
⏻
key for 1.5 seconds to activate, this will turn the boiler into “standby” mode.
2)

anti
clockwise (use rubber gloves if you need to get a
better grip).

pull the
aerator
(2)
away from the spout.
The method may vary depending on the model
installed.

and if required the aerator housing
(1)
into a small cup sufficiently filled with white wine
vinegar and water.
5)
Leave the parts soaking for around 5 minutes
6)
Clean the scale from the parts using a non-abrasive tool such as a toothbrush. If the scale is not cleared repeat
step (5).
7)
Once clean of scale and debris rinse the parts thoroughly in cold water.
8)
Reassemble the parts in the reverse order, you must ensure the aerator
(2)
is firmly pushed into the spouts
centre tube
