the form of vapour.
Rememberthat:
• You mustalways usesalt-free cleanwater,

light comes on and operation of the

The appliance is fitted with a resin lime-
scale filter enabling normal tap water to be
used.
The resins reduce water hardness and therefo-
re prolong the working life of the appliance.
“CF” is displayed when the limescale fil-
ter needs replacing. The efficacy of the filter
depends on water hardness. It should, howe-
ver, be replaced every five years.
