• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp,
non-metallic
washing up pad.
• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a
soft cloth.
Rinsing the boiler
(once a month)
• To extend the efficient operating life of your boiler and avoid scale particles on
your linen, your generator is equipped with an orange “boiler rinse” warning light
that flashes on the control panel after about 10 uses
- fig. 9.
• If the orange “boiler rinse” warning light flashes, you can continue ironing normally
but remember to rinse the boiler first the next time that you use it.
•
Before proceeding, check that the generator is cool and unplugged for
more than 2 hours.
• Place the steam generator on the edge of your sink, with the iron placed to one
side, standing on its heel.
• Unscrew anti-clockwise a quarter of a turn the boiler rinse cap
- fig. 10.
• Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler rinse cap
- fig. 11.
• Holding the steam generator in a tilted position, and using a jug, fill the boiler with
¼ litre of untreated tap water
- fig. 12.
• Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely into your
sink
- fig. 13.
• To obtain the best results, we recommend that this operation is done twice.
• Screw back and tighten up the boiler rinse cap with a coin.
• Put the boiler rinse cap cover back in place.
•
The next time you use the generator hold down the “restart” button for a
few seconds to turn off the orange light
- fig. 17.
Storing your generator
• Warning: do not touch the soleplate while still hot.
• Fold the carrying arm down onto the iron until it clicks into position, ensuring that your iron is
safely locked onto its housing (depending on model).
• Store the electrical cord in its storage place -
fig.7.
• Store the steam cord in the cord storage clip -
fig.8.
• Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 1 hour before storing it away.
A problem with your generator ?
Caution! Above all,
you must not use
descaling products
to rinse the boiler:
they may damage
it.
Before cleaning or
emptying your
generator, it is
imperative that you
leave it to cool for
more than 2 hours,
to prevent any risk
of burns.
Before cleaning, ensure your
steam generator is unplugged
and that the soleplate and
the iron have cooled down.
