Anti-scale system
The anti-scale cartridge is designed to
reduce the build-up of limescale which
occurs during steam ironing, this will prolong
the working life of your iron. However, please
note that the anti-scale cartridge will not
completely stop the natural process of
limescale build-up.
Replacing your anti-scale cartridge
How often you need to replace your anti-
scale cartridge depends on how often you
use your iron with its steam functions and
how ‘hard’ your water supply is. Water
hardness varies greatly from one area to
another. For advice on the relative hardness
of your water, contact your local water
supplier.
If, on average you spend 2 hours per
week ironing, then we suggest you refill your
anti-scale cartridge as shown in the table
below. If you iron more or less frequently
then you should alter the interval between
refills accordingly.

will build up in the system. Replace the
used cartridge as soon as possible.

outlet.

scale cartridge as shown D.
4 Replace with a new anti-scale cartridge E

Features of your steam
generator
Temperature indicator light
The indicator light shows that the iron is
warming up. When the required temperature
is reached the light will go out and will cycle
on-off during operation.
Steam function
During the steaming process, small
amounts of water may be ejected from the
soleplate. This is normal and can be avoided
by using the steam for short amounts of time
and only when the iron is at the correct
temperature (the indicator light on the iron
goes out when ready).
Sudden jolts of the boiler unit can also
cause water droplets on the soleplate;
therefore do not move the base unit during
ironing. We recommend for the first time
ironing that you iron over an old towel.
