Maintenance And Care; Rinsing The Boiler - Silvercrest SDR 1500 A1 Manual De Instrucciones De Servicio Original

Manual nozzle (D1)
Pull the terry cloth (D2) cover over the man-
ual nozzle. Especially well-suited for small
washable areas, shower stalls, mirrors or
furniture cloth material.
Floor nozzle (F1)
Suited for all washable walls and floor cov-
erings, e.g. stone floors, tiles and PVC
floors. Work slowly on very dirty surfaces to
allow the steam to act on the dirt for a long-
er period of time.
Note: Detergent residue or care emulsions
that are still present on the surfaces to be
cleaned, can lead to smears when steam
cleaned. However, these will disappear
with repeated cleaning procedures.

Maintenance and care

Danger
Always disconnect the mains plug (A7) and
allow the steam cleaner to cool down be-
fore performing any maintenance work.

Rinsing the boiler

Rinse the steam cleaner boiler at the latest
after 5 boiler fillings.
 Fill the boiler with water and shake it
strongly. This dissolves lime scaling re-
siding on the boiler bottom.
 Empty water out.
Descaling the boiler
Note: If you always use usual commercial
distilled water it is not necessary to descale
the boiler.
As limescale builds up on the boiler walls,
we recommend to descale the boiler in the
following intervals (RF=reservoir fillings):
Degree of hardness
I soft
II medium
III hard
IV very hard
Note: Please contact your Conservancy
Board or the local water supply company to
inquire about the hardness of your water.
 Disconnect the mains plug (A7) from
the socket.
 Completely empty the steam boiler.
Warning
Use a commercially available descaler to
descale your unit.
Caution
Use caution when filling and emptying the
steam cleaner. The descaling solution can
have an aggressive effect on delicate sur-
faces.
 Pour the descaling solution into the boil-
er and allow it to react for approximately
8 hours.
