CLEANING

Do not use a water jet or steam cleaner, and do not immerse this appliance.
Clean all panels with warm water and mild detergent and do not use abrasive

materials. Dry with a soft cloth.
Slide out and empty the drip tray regularly, and wipe the dispensing tap spout daily

to remove limescale deposits.

DESCALING

De-scaling is an important maintenance task and must be performed to maintain the
warranty.

This range of units has a de-scaling routine built into the software. It guides the user
through the process and advises when to open /close valves and when to add the
de-scaler.

To decide if the boiler needs a de-scale, whilst wearing gloves carefully remove the
blue cap (with the scale dipstick attached) on the top of the boiler.

Allow the water to dry on the dipstick. Where the dipstick has been in the water it will
be covered in the same amount of scale as the rest of the tank. When it is about 0.5 to
1mm thick the tank should be de-scaled.

The de-scale routine takes about an hour to complete and the boiler cannot be used
during the routine.

Lincat offer a purpose designed de-scaler powder, part number DP10 that can be
used should you require it.
