Maintenance
Replacing the limescale filter
When the
light comes on, the filter must be replaced.
To regenerate the filter, proceed as follows:
• Make sure the appliance is turned off, unplugged from
the mains and completely cold.
• Press the reservoir release lever (
C
) and
remove the
water reservoir.
• Place the lever
F
in the
position (fig. 6) and remove
the limescale filter (fig. 7).
• Position the new filter and place the lever
F
in the
position. Then reattach the tank.
• Plug the appliance into the mains and turn on.
• Hold the
OK
button (
O
) down for at least 5 seconds to
confirm the efficiency of the filter. The
light goes
off.
• The appliance is ready for use.
Please note:
Limescale filters are available from authorised customer ser-
vices.
Rinsing the steam generator
To optimise operation, maintain constant steam production
over time and save energy, rinse the steam generator with
water after every 10 ironing sessions. Proceed as follows:
• Make sure the appliance is turned off, unplugged from
the mains and completely cold.
• Remove the water reservoir.
• Turn the protective cap
G
on the side of the appliance
clockwise and remove (fig. 9).
• Use a coin or screwdriver to unscrew the steam genera-
tor cap (fig. 10).
• Eliminate the water in the steam generator (fig. 11);
• Rest the appliance on its side (fig. 12) and fill with a ma-
ximum of 0.7 litres of water using a funnel to avoid the
water spilling outside the steam generator.
• Shake the appliance to rinse the entire steam generator,
then throw the water away.
• Repeat the rinse procedure.
• Screw the cap back on, making sure it closes the steam
generator efficiently.
• Replace the protective cap
G
.
Before resuming ironing, discharge steam into the air for
a few seconds to completely eliminate any residues from
the internal circuits.
Important!
The appliance will not function without the limescale
filter.
If the filter cannot be replaced and you want to continue
using the appliance without an efficient limescale filter, pro-
ceed as follows:
• Use a coin to turn the water hardness regulator
O
to po-
sition
4
corresponding to very hard water (irrespective
of the results obtained using the indicator paper).
• When the
, light comes on, rinse the steam gene-
rator as described above.
• After rinsing, hold the
OK
button down for at least 5
seconds.
Cleaning
•
The surface of the soleplate must be kept clean. To clean,
just wipe the cold surface with a damp cloth.
•
The iron must never be treated with descaling products.
After ironing
After finishing ironing, you should put the ironing system
away with the door tightly closed to avoid dust and foreign
bodies falling into the reservoir and possibly jeopardising
operation of the pump. Place the iron on the iron rest in the
secured position and wait for the system to cool down befo-
re putting it away. To put the appliance away tidily, fix the
steam/cable tube to the hook
G
and wind the power cable
around the cable tidy
I
. Store the iron in a dry place.
Please note:
• After ironing, the water remaining in the reservoir need
not be drained. However, you are recommended to
drain the water if the appliance is left unused for long
periods.
Disposal
In compliance with European directive 2002/96/EC,
the appliance must not be disposed of with household
waste, but taken to an authorised waste separation
and recycling centre.
