servicing or repairs (in or out of
important
guarantee)
To extend the life of your steam
station and to avoid a build up of
scale, it is essential that you rinse
out the boiler after every 10 refills or
once a month. If you live in a hard
water area increase the frequency of
cleaning. Do not use chemical
descaling agents or vinegar as they
may damage your appliance.
Before removing the boiler cap
always ensure the steam station has
been depressured (see page 3).
1 Fill the boiler with fresh water, rinse
then empty.
2 Always add 500ml water direct to
the boiler after cleaning to prevent
damaging the steam station.
