As steam is very hot : never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn, always hang
garments on a coat hanger.

• Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam control button

(underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom –

fig.10

Refilling the water tank

• When the “tank empty” red warning light flashes –

fig.9,

it means that you have no more

steam. The water tank is empty.

• Remove the water tank and pull horizontally. Fill it up without exceeding the MAX level –

fig.5

• Replace it fully into its housing until there is a click –

fig.6.

• Press the “OK / RESTART” (depending on model) button

- fig.19a-19b

, on the control panel to continue ironing. When the green

indicator remains lit, the steam is ready.

Catalysis Autoclean Soleplate (depending on model)

• The iron of your steam generator comes with a self-cleaning soleplate which functions by catalysis.
• Its unique coating makes it possible to eliminate all the impurities arising from normal usage.
• We recommend you always place your iron on its base or on the iron rest plate in order to protect its self-cleaning

coating.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning your generator

• Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate base-unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Cleaning the soleplate: The iron of your steam generator comes with a self-cleaning

soleplate which functions by catalysis. Its unique coating actively allows it to continually
eliminate all the impurities which are generated every day when the appliance is in normal
use. Nevertheless, using your iron at an unsuitable temperature can leave marks which will
need to be cleaned manually. In this case we advise you to use a soft damp cloth on the
soleplate whilst it is still warm so as not to damage the coating.

• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.

Descaling your generator easily :

For longer generator life, and to avoid scale emissions, your generator is equipped with a
built-in anti-scale collector. This collector, located in the tank, automatically removes the
scale that forms inside.

Operation

• An orange “anti-scale” light located on the control panel starts blinking to tell you that the

anti-scale collector needs rinsing -

fig.11

Caution: this operation must not be performed until the generator has
been unplugged for at least two hours and has completely cooled down.

When performing this operation, the generator should be placed near a sink as
water may flow out of the tank when it is opened.

• Once the generator has cooled down completely, remove the anti-scale collector cap -

fig.12.

• Unscrew the anti-scale collector and remove it from the housing; it contains the scale

that has built up in the tank -

fig.13

and

fig.14

• To clean the collector properly, just rinse it under running water to remove the scale it

contains -

fig.15

• Put the collector back into its housing and screw it in completely to keep it watertight -

fig.16

• Refit the scale collector cover

Before cleaning,
ensure that your
steam generator is
unplugged and that
the soleplate and
the iron rest have
cooled down.

Do not use any
descaling substances
(vinegar, industrial
descaling products,
etc.) when rinsing the
anti-scale collector :
they could damage it.
Before descaling or
cleaning your
generator, you must
let it cool down for at
least 2 hours to avoid
any risk of burns.
