Auto-clean descale function
Each time approximately 5L of water has been
used in the steam generator, it will need to run an
auto-clean cycle. When the product is fully
cooled down and first switched on, it will draw
water from the detachable water tank (11) to flush
the boiler, emptying dirty water and limescale into
the dirty water chamber (2). For this short time,
the descale indicator (19) will flash and you will
be unable to use the product to iron.
If there is not sufficient water to operate this
function, the product will alert you with the low
water indicator (20) and the process will be
paused until the tank is refilled and replaced.
WARNING: During the auto-clean process, the
water ejected from the machine is very hot, so
do not remove the water tank until the
auto-clean process is finished.
The auto-clean process will take approximately 3
minutes, after which the steam generator will be
ready for normal operation again. The flashing
descale indicator (19) will extinguish and the low
steam level indicator (24a) will flash, indicating
that the steam generator is readying itself for the
low steam level setting.
After ironing, switch off the steam generator at
the On/Off power button (22) and unplug from the
mains outlet. If the auto-clean function has
activated and completed, wait for the steam
generator to cool down completely. Remove the
detachable water tank and tip the dirty water
from the dirty water emptying hole (3).
IMPORTANT: Ensure the dirty water is emptied
after each auto-clean cycle to prevent
overflow.
WARNING: Dirty water in the dirty water
chamber
(2)
will be hot after the auto-clean
process, so take care when pouring it out.
To clean a ceramic soleplate
