In addition to this regular maintenance, we recommend complete rinsing of the tank every six months or
after every 25 uses.
To do this:
• Check that the steam generator is cold and has been unplugged for more than 2 hours.
• Place the steam generator on the edge of the sink and put the iron standing upright alongside it.
• Remove the collector cover and unscrew the scale collector.
• Hold your steam generator at an angle and use a jug to fill the boiler with with 1/4 litre of tap water.
• Shake the case for a few seconds then empty it completely into the sink.
• Fit the collector back in its housing and screw it on tightly to ensure it is watertight.
• Put the scale collector cover back in place.
The next time you use your iron, press the “OK / RESTART” button on the control panel to turn off the
orange “anti-scale” light fig.19a-19b.
Storing your generator
• Press the illuminated on/off switch and unplug the generator. Store the electrical cord in its storage place –
fig.17
.
• Raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place (audible click) – fig.2 . Your iron is then safely
retained on its base.
Warning: do not touch the soleplate while still hot.
• Wind the steam cord around the generator and insert it in its side storage place. – fig.18.
• Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 30 minutes.
• You can then put your steam generator away, carrying it by the handle – fig.1.
