Move the steam cleaner backwards and forwards across the floor.

Anti-scale

Limescale

Tap water contains minerals which can result in a build-up of limescale in the boiler. This can severely affect the steam output. The anti-scale cartridge (20) treats the water before it enters the boiler to minimise the effects of these minerals, but after a maximum of three months use, it will lose its effectiveness and must be replaced. This should be reduced further in areas of very hard water or if the cleaner is used extensively.

To prevent limescale build-up in the water tank, never fill the steam cleaner’s tank with anything other than deionised, demineralised or distilled water (available from most leading supermarkets). The use of the correct water is an additional precaution that should be taken to ensure the performance of the boiler is maximised.

Replacing the anti-scale cartridge (20)

1.To access the anti-scale cartridge, first remove the water tank (17) as described in step 3 of ‘Steam cleaning floors’, page 5.

If attempting to steam clean a heavily soiled area, it may be necessary to operate the vibrate function. This will vibrate the floorhead (23) to help agitate the dust and dirt. To use this function, press the vibrate button (12). To stop the vibrate function, press the vibrate button again.

2.Firmly grip the sides of the anti-scale cartridge and pull upwards and away from the product. There may be excess water that could spill from the cartridge.

3.Replace with the new anti-scale cartridge, pushing firmly into place. Replacement cartridges can be purchased by calling our UK helpline directly on: 0844 873 0726 or logging onto www.morphyrichards.com.

4.The resin crystals within the cartridge are a mild irritant. Do not break open the cartridge.
