24470 Steam Generator Troubleshooting Guide
24470 Steam Generator
A steam generator is slightly more complex than a standard iron and each model
can vary in operation. Therefore, it is important to read the instructions
carefully. The user guide is available on the Russell Hobbs website and the
Amazon listing.
For the 24470 Steam Generator note:
Auto-Shut off feature
If you don’t press the steam trigger for 10 minutes your iron’s auto shut-off
feature will operate. The thermostat light will flash to tell you that it is
in auto shut-off mode. To cancel the auto shut-off mode, press the steam
trigger. Note that your iron will need time to heat up again to the selected
temperature. Wait until the temperature light has stopped flashing before
resuming ironing.
Don’t put anything in the tank other than water
Don’t use any ironing additives or use iron-descaler. These will damage the
boiler coating and cause blockages and brown discharge from the soleplate.
Correct Settings
Make sure you have read the instructions and set the steam settings as needed.
Important … Change the anti-scale filter as directed in the instructions.
ANTI-SCALE CARTRIDGE
To extend the life of the appliance and to avoid problems with lime scale,
your steam generator is fitted with an anti-scale cartridge. The life of the
anti-scale cartridge depends on the frequency of use and the hardness of the
water in your area. In a soft water area this should be about 100 uses. Do not
put any descaling products (including vinegar) into the reservoir. This can
damage the appliance. When the anti-scale cartridge needs replacing, the anti-
scale filter warning light ( ) will come on.
To replace the cartridge:
- Switch off and unplug your steam generator
- Allow your steam generator to cool down for at least 1 hour until the soleplate is cold.
- Remove the iron from the top of the generator to expose the cover beneath.
- Open the cover.
- Pull the anti-scale cartridge vertically out of the recess. Note that the cartridge may contain water when it is removed (Fig B).
- Fit the new cartridge and push it down firmly. Close the cover.
- Plugin your steam generator.
- Reset the warning light by pressing and holding the anti-scale warning light/reset button ( ) for 5 seconds until the light goes out.
- Once the appliance is ready, pull the steam trigger until the steam is being produced. This will prime the system.
Important: Using the appliance without changing the cartridge can cause a reduction in the generated steam output and damage the appliance. The guarantee will not cover damage caused to the appliance by not changing the anti- scale cartridge when required.
REPLACEMENT ANTI-SCALE CARTRIDGES
- Have the appliance Model Number to hand, as we won’t be able to help you without it. It’s on the rating plate (usually underneath the product).
- Ring 0345 658 9700, or email service@russellhobbs.com, for prices, then purchase replacements using VISA or MASTERCARD.
