GENERAL INFORMATION ON DESCALING GRANULATE
3. Slowly fi ll with water up to the bottom of the fi ller
opening (see illustration). Do not fi ll with hot water.
For the water level indicator to function properly, after
the Remaining Water LED indicator has illuminated, top
up with at least 10 ounces (0.3 liters).
Total tank capacity is 2.74 pints (1.3 liters) with a desca-
ling cartridge.
The total tank capacity is 2.95 pints (1.4 liters) without a
descaling cartridge.
4. Replace the lime descaling cartridge and press the cap
onto the fi ller opening.
Note: The fi ller opening must always be kept closed to prevent the water supply from becoming contaminated. There is a delay in
the steam development after an empty water tank has been fi lled or if a new descaling granulate cartridge has been inserted.
CHECKING DESCALING CARTRIDGE
PLACEMENT FOR INITIAL MACHINE USE
The SINGER® Rotary Steam Iron is supplied with a lime descaling cartridge inserted
in the water tank. The cartridge is placed below the cap of the fi ller.
1. Switch off the power and unplug the Rotary Steam Iron before removing/re-
placing the cartridge. Remove the cap by pulling it upwards and make sure
that the descaling cartridge is pushed down fully. Press the cap onto the fi ller
opening.
2. There is one spare cartridge supplied in a plastic bag with your Rotary Steam
Iron. You should keep the spare cartridge in the plastic bag until necessary to
replace it in the Rotary Steam Iron, to prevent the granulate in the descaling
cartridge from drying out.
If the Descaling Granulate Used display LED is triggered approximately one minute
after inserting a lime descaling cartridge, proceed as follows:
Switch off the power and unplug.
Open the cap and push the lime descaling cartridge down fully into position.
Replace the cap.
Plug in the Rotary Steam Iron again and switch on the power.
The descaling granulate in the lime descaling cartridge must
always remain slightly damp. Where there are long intervals
between ironing (with the water tank empty) the decaling
granulate must be moistened with water or kept apart from
the Rotary Steam Iron in a sealed plastic bag. The water tank must be emptied during very long intervals
between ironing.
New, full descaling cartridges are available by visiting the
SINGER website at: www.singerco.com.
