DESCALING THE BOILER

Note

: Russell Hobbs multi purpose descaler is NOT suitable for descaling your steam generator.

• 

To maintain optimum performance, clean the boiler every 10-20 uses depending on the water 

hardness where you live.

• 

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 place the base unit on its side).

1. 

Leave it for a minimum of 4 hours to cool down completely (overnight is best).

2. 

Mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of warm water in a jug.

3. 

Set the iron down on the work surface – take care not to scratch the soleplate.

4. 

Place the base unit on its side.

5. 

Unscrew the boiler drain plug (FIG B).

6. 

Empty any water already in the boiler into the sink.

7. 

Place the base unit on its side again, and pour the vinegar/water mix into the hole.

8. 

Replace the drain plug and shake the base unit from side to side.

9. 

Leave it for half an hour, then unscrew the drain plug and use the boiler cleaning brush to clean the 

boiler (FIG C). Empty the boiler into the sink.

10.  Now rinse, to remove scale and vinegar:

a)  Place the base unit on its side, fill with water
b)  Shake the base, then empty the water into the sink

11.  Repeat until the water that comes out is clear, free of scale particles, and doesn’t smell of vinegar.
12.  Finally, replace the drain plug tightening it firmly. 
Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.
