Limescale:
Due to the high amount of steam this steam generator produces, limescale tends
to form inside the water tank with repeated uses. Since high amounts of limescale
can affect the high-precision components inside the iron, it is important that
limescale build-up be kept to a minimum.
This unit is equipped with an anti-calc filter inside the water tank, which
automatically cleans the tank and prevents limescale build-up from affecting the
pump and other components inside the iron.
This anti-calc filter should be replaced periodically. How often this filter should be
replaced will depend on how often the iron is used and how hard the water is in
the area. For information on water hardness in your area, consult your local water
provider.
If large amounts of limescale are still building up inside the water tank even after
filtering, this indicates the filter has stopped working. Should this occur, please
replace the anti-calc filter.
NOTE:
Replacement water tanks and anti-calc filters for this unit are available from our
website, under the following product codes:
Water tank: T22006002
Filter: T22006001
WARNING:
Never pour vinegar or other liquid cleaners for eliminating calcium into
the water tank
.
After ironing:
Disconnect the power supply and allow the iron to cool completely.
Empty any water left in the water tank.
Reconnect the iron to the power supply, then disconnect it again after the indicator
light goes out. This dries the soleplate.
Let the iron completely cool down, then wipe flakes and any other deposits on the
soleplate with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
Clean the upper part of the iron and the base with a damp cloth.
Always store the emptied iron and base horizontally, on a stable surface, with a
cloth protecting the soleplate.
To store the power cord, wrap it around the cord storage area on the side of the
base.
