ANTICALC - SYSTEM
If you do not change the resin of your CIS it will be affected by scale just like other ironing systems.
• T he Compact Vapor Generator is fitted with a replaceable anticalc - system consisting of a resin filter,
which retains the limy substances in the water, preventing these from reaching the steam chamber in
the sole-plate and thereby extending the life of your CVG. If you so wish, on this model you may replace
the resin so that the CVG is kept in optimum condition. If you want to replace the resin, we recommend
you to do it every 6 months. Changing the resin does not mean that you may overlook the advice about
water hardness given in the section "BEFORE STARTING TO IRON" .
• I n the event of not changing the resin of this CVG, it will be subject to the effects of scale just like
other irons.

• T o replace it, line up the arrow with the open padlock and turn it in a clockwise direction, fol-
lowing the directions in the drawing, pressing the part inwards at the same time, until reaching
the padlock closed position Fig 3.
• W hen the filter is in place, make sure that it DOES NOT STAND OUT of the back of the iron, otherwise
you will not have fitted it properly and water will leak from the tank.
