P R E PA R AT I O N F O R U S E · Remove the self-refilling tank cap (1) (Fig. 1) and fill the tank with 500 cc of water, making sure it does not overflow. Water by its nature contains magnesium and mineral salts which form into limescale. To avoid this residue causing problems to your unit, we recommend that you always use this special jug KalFilter with anti-limescale filter, which is provided with your appliance. Thanks to its special filter made up with a mixture of two resins, this jug is the ideal solution to the problem of limescale allowing you to change water straight from the tap into water that is demineralized and silicon-free. In this way you can prevent the incrustations and protect the components of your unit.

To reduce the gurgling we recommend to replenish before the water has been used up. · At first steam request, or about 2 minutes after the last request, you will experince a delay in steam delivery because steam inside the heat exchanger is 3 C L E A N I N G T H E WAT E R F I LT E R If the water filter (4) becomes dirty, proceed as described below: · Remove the boiler cap (1). · Remove the water filter (4) (fig. 6) from its place and clean it under running water. · Put the filter (4) back in its place and reclose the boiler cap.
