PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

There are 4 red L.E.D. lights, each one representing a different level of water hardness.
One red L.E.D. light is for the softest water, four red L.E.D. lights is for the hardest water.
2
To set the programme, hold the button “R” (Diagram B - #6) button down while at the same
time turning the boiler on/off switch (Diagram C - #5) on.

The green led (5) will start to flash.
4
“Push” and “release” the “R” button until you have the correct number of red L.E.D. lights lit
as per the litmus paper test. Hold the “R” button down for 5 seconds until you hear an
audible “beep”. Once you hear the beep, the programme is set.
5
To verify the setting you have made, you can repeat steps #2-#3 and you will see the
number of red L.E.D. lights lit up as per your selection (including the flashing green light).
Release the “R” button and after 15 seconds the lights will automatically go off.
ANTI-CALC WARNING ALARM
If you hear a beeping sound from the boiler, and at the same time all the red L.E.D lights are
flashing (after 1 minute they will stop flashing and stay on), this means that it is time to proceed
with the de-scaling of the boiler tank.
ATTENTION! It will be still possible to work for a short time while the boiler is in the alarm
mode, after which the steam station will auto-protect itself from the scale and stop working
until you de-scale the boiler.
SPECIAL NOTE:
:
The J490A anti-calc warning system will automatically shut itself off after 57 gallons (218 litres) of
water, if the programming instructions have not been followed.
It is suggested that you first clean the boiler following the cleaning instructions outlined on page 7.
Then programme the anti-calc system following the instructions above (#2-#5) to reset the
programmer.
Reset The Programme
Once you have de-scaled the boiler (see section Maintenance Of The Boiler) you have to proceed
with the RESET before starting to iron again. Repeat step #2 (in the programme instructions above
and hold the “R” button down for 10 seconds. When you hear the beap, the programme is reset.
TEST FIRST, THEN IRON
Prior to ironing on delicate fabrics, it is a good idea to do a test in a hidden area (like the reverse
side) to ensure that no damage is done to the fabric. We will not assume any responsibility in case
you do not comply with these instructions.
