To descale the steam generator
1. Before you descale the steam generator, clean it. For more information, see page 20. After
you clean the steam generator, do not screw on the filter cap or reconnect the steam hose
to the hay chest. Ensure the steam generator is completely empty.
2. Open the packet of descaler and dissolve it in the required volume of warm water, as
described in the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Place the funnel in the filler spout.
4. Carefully pour the diluted solution of descaler into the steam generator.
5. Remove the funnel from the steam generator, and screw on/tighten the safety cap by hand.
6. To switch on the steam generator:
Press the power button. The
power button turns green and
the heating indicator light turns
amber.
7. When the water starts to boil and steam comes out of the steam hose, switch off the
steam generator.
8. Unplug the steam generator from the power outlet.
9. Clearly label the steam generator to say it contains descaler. Then allow the steam
generator to descale for at least 3 hours.
Tip: We recommend you descale the steam generator overnight.
10. To remove any loose material in the steam generator, shake the steam generator.
11. Unscrew the safety cap on the steam generator, then empty the water through the filler
spout into a drain or container.
12. Rinse out and empty the steam generator until the water is clear when it comes out. For
more information, see page 20.
