Cleaning the boiler
When the boiler requires descaling, the descaling
indicator light
(19)
will illuminate. When this
happens, the boiler must be manually rinsed out
with clean water until all the scale is removed. The
indicator light will go out only after the scale has
been removed.
WARNING: Never remove the boiler screw
(14)
when the steam generator is hot.
1
Unplug the appliance from the mains outlet and
leave to cool for two hours.
2
Remove the detachable water tank
(8)
and rest the
iron
(6)
on its heel on a firm surface next to a sink.
Maintenance
IN HARD WATER AREAS, WE RECOMMEND A
MIX OF 50% TAP WATER AND 50%
DISTILLED OR DEMINERALISED WATER.
Never use battery topping up fluid or water
containing any substances like starch, sugar,
fragrant additives or defrosted water from a
refrigerator.
Re-filling during use
If the water level is too low, the low water level
indicator light
(18)
will illuminate, a buzzer will
sound, and the unit will not produce steam. If this
happens, disconnect the water tank and refill
with water.
Dry ironing
To use your steam generator as a dry iron only,
follow steps 2 and 3 of ‘Using the Steam
Generator for steam ironing’ on page 5. You do
not need to put water in the tank or select a
steam level. Press either the steam boost button
(1)
(certain models only) or the steam trigger
(2)
at least once every 10 minutes, or the product
will automatically turn off.
Auto shut-off (certain models only)
If either the steam boost button
(1)
(certain
models only) or the steam trigger
(2)
is unused
for 10 minutes, the product will automatically turn
off, both for safety and to save energy.
To restart, press the On/Off button
(16)
(see step
2 of ‘Using the Steam Generator for steam
ironing’ on page 5) and wait for the temperature
to rise again.
Steam function
During steaming, small amounts of water may be
ejected from the soleplate. This is normal and can
be avoided by using the steam for short amounts
of time and only when the iron is at the correct
temperature (the temperature indicator light
(5)
on the iron goes out when ready).
Sudden jolts of the boiler unit can also cause
water droplets on the soleplate; therefore, do not
move the base unit during ironing. We
recommend for first time ironing that you iron
over an old towel.
NOTE: The product may occasionally produce a
pumping sound during steam ironing. This is
normal and is caused by water being pumped
through the steam generator.
Vertical steam
Vertical steam is useful for removing creases from
hanging clothes, curtains, wall hangings, etc.
Hold the iron between 1cm and 2cm away from
the item and press either the steam boost button
(1)
(certain models only) or the steam trigger
(2)
.
WARNING: Do not use the vertical steam
feature on clothes that are being worn.
