the surface.
Warning: The use of iron cleaner will cause damage to your soleplate's autoclean coating.
How do I descale my steam generator?
Descaling operation is not needed for the steam generator, nevertheless, you could rinse the
boiler every 10 uses (refer to user manual).
Never use any descaling agent or vinegar when rinsing the boiler: they could damage it.
• Models with scale collector: Rinse the scale collector under water. The next time you use your
generator, press the "restart" button to turn off the orange "Anti-calc" light (depending on
model).
• Models without scale collector: Rinse the boiler. The next time you use your generator, press
the "restart" button to turn off the orange "Anti-calc" light (depending on model).
How do I maintain my steam generator?
Before any maintenance, make sure that the appliance is unplugged and that the soleplate, boiler
and iron rest have cooled down (at least 2 hours after ironing).
Do not use any maintenance or descaling product to clean the soleplate or the base unit. Never
hold the iron or its base unit under a running tap.
Cleaning the base unit:
• Wipe the plastic parts from time to time using a slightly damp soft cloth.
Maintaining the boiler (once a month):
• Please note: To prolong your boiler's efficiency and avoid scale deposits, you must rinse the
boiler every 10 uses (around once a month).
• Check that the generator is cool and has been unplugged for more than 2 hours.
• Slowly loosen the boiler cap. If your generator boiler has an anti-calc rod, take this out and
rinse it under the tap before placing it back in the boiler.
• Use a jug to fill the boiler with tap water until it is 3/4 full.
• Shake the base unit gently for a few seconds then empty it completely over the sink.
• For best results, we recommend that you perform this operation once again.

How can I avoid shiny marks on fabric?
Shiny marks can appear on some fabrics, especially on dark coloured fabrics. We would advise
ironing dark clothes inside out and using the correct temperature.
If ironing mixed-fibre fabrics, set the temperature for the most fragile fibre.
Important: The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend that you start with
fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature
What type of ironing board should I use?
Choose a board that is height-adjustable to adjust it to your body. It should be steady and robust
so that you can place the ironing appliance on it.
The board should be perforated to allow the steam to pass through the fibres of the fabric to
soften it and make ironing easier. The ironing board cover should also be suitable to allow the
flow of steam through.
What water should I use for ironing?
• Tap water:
Your appliance has been designed to work with tap water. If your water is very hard, mix 50%
tap water with 50% distilled water (available in stores).
In some regions near the sea, the salt content in your water may be high. In this case, use distilled
water only.
