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).
1Fill the boiler with fresh water, rinse then empty.
2Always add 500ml water direct to the boiler after cleaning to prevent damaging the steam station.
