Filter replacement

The filter (H) must be replaced every 4-6 months or after 100 cleaning cycles (one cycle is equivalent to the consumption of
a full tank of water). Unplug it from the socket-outlet. Wait for the hot parts to cool down. Remove the tank. Extract the filter

(Fig. 13).
limestone cleaning
damage caused by limescale is not covered by warranty.
A good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and maintain the appliance efficient for a longer period greatly reducing
the risk of scale formation. If despite this, after some time, the appliance function should be compromised, due to constant
use of hard and very hard water, it is possible to carry out a descaling operation to eliminate the malfunction.
Perform the cleaning once every three months. If very hard water is used clean every month.
Warning!
Never leave the appliance unattended while in use.
Carry out the scale cleaning operation in a ventilated room. When cleaning the limescale, apply steam to a resistant
surface or on a washable cloth. Do not breathe the vapours produced during the descaling cleaning.
