3. Care, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

3.1 Cleaning the boiler

Rinsing out the boiler

•To clean the boiler, we recommend that you fill it with water and shake it vigorously. This should loosen any scale that has settled at the bottom of the boiler. If you now pour the water out of the boiler, the scale will be flushed out at the same time (see illus.).

•For soft water (up to 1.8 mmol/L) the boiler should be flushed out after it has been refilled 15 times, for harder water after every fifth time.

Descaling the boiler

We recommend that you descale the appliance as soon as the “Descaling due” indicator light illuminates.

•In order to remove any scale that has built up on the walls of the boiler, we recommend that you clean the boiler with Decalcifying Liquid.

•In order to avoid damaging your steam cleaner, use only products for descaling that have been officially approved by WINDSOR.

Procedure:

•Unplug the steam cleaner from the electrical outlet.

•Empty the boiler entirely of any remaining water.

•Dissolve the contents of two bags in 0.5 gal (2 litre) of warm water while continuously stirring the liquid at the same time.

•Pour the solution into the boiler, and allow to stand for approx. 8 hours.

The safety cap must not be attached to the boiler while descaling is being carried out. Make sure that the cleaner can not be used while there is any descaling solution left in the boiler.

•Pour the contents of the boiler out at the side (see illus.), and rinse out the boiler at least twice with cold water to ensure that no descaling solution or deposits are left inside.

•Switch on the cleaner.

•Press the reset button until the “Descaling due” light extinguishes.

•Your steam cleaner is now ready for use again. After approx. 50 operating hours, the “Descaling due” light will illuminate to show that it is time to descale the appliance once more.

Note: If you use distilled water exclusively, it will not be necessary to descale the cleaner. When the “Descaling due” indicator light illumina- tes, just press the reset button until the light goes out.

Filter replacement

•When using polluted water the filter can become blocked. This makes itself apparent either by extraordinarily long running times of the pump or a total functional failure. In this case the filter should be replaced.

3.2 What to do if there is a problem

•If the low-water warning lamp lights up because the unit has been stood upright although it still operating, follow the procedure described in the section “Refilling the boiler with water”.

•If you encounter any other problems with the cleaner, you should contact your local authorized customer service agent.

The Windsor Zephyr is an iconic British luxury train, celebrated for its blend of elegance, speed, and cutting-edge technology. Launched in the 1930s, it was part of the Gresley A4 class of locomotives, designed by the renowned engineer Sir Nigel Gresley. The Zephyr is noted for its streamlined design, which not only imparted a distinctive aesthetic but also enhanced aerodynamic efficiency, allowing for high-speed travel across the rail network.

One of the main features of the Windsor Zephyr is its impressive performance capabilities. The locomotive is powered by a powerful steam engine that generated a massive amount of horsepower, allowing it to reach speeds that were unmatched at the time. This combination of power and sleek design facilitated a smooth and swift travel experience. The train could accommodate a limited number of passengers but offered lavish amenities, making it a favorite choice for the elite and dignitaries.

Technologically, the Windsor Zephyr incorporated several advancements for its time, including a modern braking system that improved safety and efficiency during longer journeys. The air brakes, alongside traditional steam brakes, provided a dual system that enhanced control. Additionally, the train utilized innovative engineering techniques in its construction, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship and durability.

The interiors of the Windsor Zephyr were a testament to luxury. Passengers could indulge in plush seating, meticulously designed dining areas, and elegant lounge spaces. Features like large panoramic windows provided breathtaking views of the passing countryside, adding to the overall travel experience.
