Self clean
When the boiler requires descaling, the descale
button (19) will illuminate. When this happens, the
boiler must be descaled. The button’s light will go
out only after the scale has been removed.
1Unplug the appliance from the mains outlet and
leave to cool for two hours.
2Lock the iron (11) in place on the base unit (14).
See ‘Storing the steam iron’ on page 10.
3Remove the detachable water tank (3) to prevent
water spillage and upturn the steam generator.
This reveals the boiler screw (28) on the
underside of the base unit.
4Remove the boiler screw by unscrewing it
anti-clockwise.
WARNING: Never remove the boiler screw
when the steam generator is hot.
5
Remove the boiler tube (26) and the attached
boiler tube attachment (24) from their storage
position.
6Push the boiler tube attachment (24) firmly into
the hole where the boiler screw was removed
from. Ensure the boiler tube (26) is sitting within
the boiler tube crevice (27).
7Turn the steam generator back over so the iron
(11) is uppermost.
8Fill the detachable water tank and replace it back
into the base unit (14).
Never pour any descaling solution or any other
chemicals into the water tank. This will
damage the product. Only use clean water.
9Place the front end of the steam generator
securely over a sink so the boiler tube (26) drops
down into the sink. Ensure the boiler tube is not
squashed between the steam generator and the
edge of the sink.
10 Plug the appliance back in at the mains and turn
the power on.
11 Press and hold the descale button (19) and the
steam trigger (4) at the same time for one
second. A beep will be heard and the descale
button will begin to flash. The steam generator
will commence self-cleaning and scale and water
will begin to flow through the boiler tube into the
sink. The process will take around two minutes to
complete. When finished, three beeps will be
heard, the descale button’s light will extinguish
and the appliance will shut off automatically.
