important
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.
