2 Steam Generator Maintenance
2.1 Daily Cleaning and Management
WARNING: Any steam leak can damage the appliance. Regularly check the seal of all connections.
Water quality is fundamental for steam generator durability. In case of very hard water it is mandatory to install a water softener upstream.
2.2 Boiler Descaling
The frequency of descaling depends on water hardness in the installation area:
| Water Hardness | °F (French degrees) | Descaling Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Soft | 0-15°F | Every 12 months |
| Medium | 15-25°F | Every 6 months |
| Hard | 25-40°F | Every 3 months |
| Very hard | over 40°F | Every 2 months (softener mandatory) |
NOTE: It is possible to verify water hardness through test kits available at hardware stores or by contacting the local water provider.
2.3 Descaling Procedure
- Turn off the generator and disconnect from electrical network
- Wait for complete cooling (at least 2 hours)
- Close the water supply tap
- Open the boiler drain cap and empty completely
- Prepare descaling solution: 1 liter water + 200 ml white vinegar (or specific product)
- Pour the solution into the boiler through the filling opening
- Let it act for 3-4 hours
- Empty the solution completely
- Rinse with clean water
- Close drain cap and reopen water supply
- Reconnect electrically and perform an empty test cycle
WARNING: Do not use aggressive descaling products containing hydrochloric or muriatic acid. They damage heating elements and generator probes.
WARNING: Avoid overheating. It could accelerate potential corrosion problems.
2.4 Automatic Drain System Check
Verify monthly the correct functioning of the automatic drain system:
- Perform a complete 30-minute cycle
- At the end, verify that "d" or "dd" (drain) appears on display
- Listen to the sound of water flowing out
- Verify that the drain is complete (absence of water residues)
- The display will show "-d" when drainage is completed
- If drain does not occur: check drain pipe is clear
- If it persists: call support to check solenoid valve
NOTE: Automatic drainage is important to maintain generator efficiency. Never interrupt this cycle.
2.5 Solenoid Valve Check
Verify the correct functioning of the inlet and drain solenoid valves:
| Component | Verification | Frequency |
