process until the water 24
reservoir (P) is empty.
The water flow will
cease.
- Reheat the iron to dry
up excess water.
- Move the iron over a
(preferably) old piece
of cloth (fig. 24).
This is to ensure that the
soleplate will be dry during storage.
- Unplug the power cord and let the iron cool
down before you store it.
Anti-calc cassette
The Philips Aquazur has a disposable anti-calc
cassette to filter the water. The anti-calc content
of the cassette will be saturated after some time.
Then, the anti-calc cassette should be replaced
by a new one. How often the cassette should be
replaced, depends on the water hardness and the
frequency of iron usage. The table below give you
a general guide on when you should change the
cassette.
Hardness of the water
In a few seconds you can test the hardness of the
tap water yourself, using the test-strip inserted in
9
these instructions.
1. Take a glass of tap water.
2. Put the test-strip in the tap water for 1 or 2
seconds.
3. Take the strip out and let it dry for about
1 minute.
4. Read the results below.
5. In the water hardness table you can see when
the anti-calc cassette is to be replaced by a
new one.
The test strip has four green coloured squares. As
the strips are put into water, one or more squares
may become pink coloured. The more squares
become pink, the harder the water (i.e. the more
calcium the water contains). This test needs only
to be done once. Mark the test result in the table
for future reference.
