4.Make sure the filter holder is not attached and position a container under the outlet.

5.Rotate the selector knob to the position (fig. 17) and run off half the solution in the tank. Then interrupt the flow by rotating the selector to the "O" position (fig. 23).

6.Leave the solution to work for about 15 minutes, then run off the rest of the water in the tank.

7.To eliminate residues of the solution and scale, rinse the tank well, fill with clean water and replace in its housing.
