Maintenance
and cleaning
• Never move the steam generator
whilst it is switched on or is still hot.
Switch off the appliance, and wait until
it has cooled down before you move it.
• Do not immerse the appliance in
water, or in other liquids. If this
happens do not use the appliance any
more; dispose of the appliance.
• Never use corrosive or scouring
cleaning agents.
• Never scrape over the soleplate with
metal objects.
• Never add vinegar or other cleaning
agents to the water reservoir.
Maintenance
1 Remove the plug from the wall socket
and allow the appliance to cool down
completely before cleaning it.
2 Always drain all the water from the
reservoir after each use.
3 Wipe limescale and other fouling from
the soleplate using a damp cloth and a
non-abrasive cleaner.
4 Clean the iron's housing with a soft
damp cloth.
Descaling
• The guarantee does not cover
limescale complaints or problems.
To prolong the useful life of your Nova
Steam Station Plus and prevent limescale
rinse and/or descale the appliance once a
month.
1 Half-fill the water reservoir and shake
the reservoir. Allow the reservoir to
drain, and repeat.
2 Descale the appliance with the special
descaling agents available from
10 Article 320170 Steam Station Plus
(hardware) stores. Always verify that
the descaling agent is suitable for use
with irons! Follow the directions given
on the package.
3 Allow the (diluted) descaling agent to
flow through the appliance. Switch on
the appliance, and set the quantity of
steam to the maximum level ('max').
4 Hold the iron horizontally in mid-air (do
not place it on a surface). Allow the
steam to escape from the appliance
until the water reservoir is empty.
5 Rinse a couple of times with clean
water.
Replacing the limescale filter
• Replace the limescale filter at regular
intervals!
• You can buy limescale filters from
your Nova Steam Station Plus sales
outlet.
Replace the limescale filter at regular
intervals (see no. 13 in Figure 2). The
frequency depends on how often you use
the appliance and the water hardness. The
water hardness varies from region to
region. Ask your water company about the
water hardness in your region.
With normal use (steam ironing for 2 hours
a week) the frequencies are as follows:
• in regions with soft water: replace every
six months.
• in regions with an average water
hardness: replace every 3 months.
• in regions with hard water: replace every
4 to 6 weeks.
Information about replacing the limescale
filter is given in 'Filling the water reservoir'
