Cleaning
• Clean the main unit with a damp cloth.
• Clean the Press & Steam fabric with a damp cloth or non abrasive sponge.
Do not use any cleaning products such as soap or detergents.
Easy descaling
• To maintain maximum performance, your steamer must be descaled.
The time between descaling operations depends on the appliance use. The appliance must
be descaled at least once a year or after 30 hours of use.
• For models with "Anti calc" indicator*:
- To extend the life of your appliance and prevent the scaling, your appliance is fitted with an
orange "Anti-calc” light that flashes on the control panel when you need to drain the
appliance.
- If the orange “Anti-calc” warning light flashes, you can continue steaming normally but
remember to rinse the boiler before you use it again.
• To carry out a descaling operation, follow these steps:
- Ensure that the appliance has cooled down completely (2 hours minimum).
- Separate the appliance from the base, using the base unlocking button.
- Remove the steam head from the steam head hook. Remove also the electrical cord from the
electrical cord hook.
- Take out the water tank (fig. 33) .
- Place the appliance flat on the edge of your sink.
- Fill ½ litre of fresh water directly in the water inlet location located on the appliance, allowing
water to fill the boiler (fig. 34) . Pay attention not to overflow.
- Unscrew the "Anti calc" cap by turning it anti clockwise (fig. 35) .
- Holding the appliance in a tilted position, help the scale particles to flow out with the water
by soft movements (fig. 36) .
- Insert the "Anti calc" cap and screw it back.
- Repeat above procedure as many times as needed to remove all the scale particles.
- For models with "Anti calc" indicator*: the next time you use your garment steamer, press the
"Anti calc" button for 5 sec on the control panel to turn off the indicator.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to lift up or transport the appliance holding the integrated hanger.
Always make sure the appliance and the pole are firmly fixed to the base before
lifting up the appliance (see assembly instructions).
Do not use any descaling substances (vinegar, industrial descaling products, etc.)
when rinsing the appliance: they could damage it.
Before emptying your appliance, it must always be left to cool for 2 hours to avoid any
risks of scalding.
Warning: Never try to separate the hose from the appliance.
Make sure to avoid any shock on the steam head during descaling operation.
