Cleaning the water reservoir
Limescale deposits in the water reser-
voir, caused by hard water, can cause
the steam jets to become blocked.
Should this happen the limescale de-
posits can be removed by rinsing out
the water reservoir with fresh tap water.
,
Allow the ironer to cool down be-
fore rinsing out the reservoir!
^ Disconnect the machine from the
mains.
Depending on the hardness level of
your water supply, the reservoir will
need to be rinsed out with tap water af-
ter every 3 to 10 fills of the reservoir.
Stubborn limescale deposits can be re-
moved with a proprietary descaling
agent.
Make sure you observe the manu-
facturer's instructions on dosage,
concentration and how long it
should be used for.
^ Fill the water reservoir approx. half
full (0.4 litres) with the solution of
descaling agent and replace the
cap.
^ Roll the ironer backwards and for-
wards several times.
^ To prevent the risk of damaging laun-
dry when next ironing with steam the
reservoir should be rinsed out twice
with fresh tap water after descaling it.
For instructions on filling and emptying
the reservoir see "Steam" section.
