Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your steam generator
Ultragliss soleplate (depending on model):
• While the soleplate is still warm, clean it with a damp non-metallic pad.
Your steam iron is fitted with a Gliss/Glide Protect TM Autoclean soleplate (depending
on model):
• Its exclusive active coating allows it eliminate any impurities that may be regularly
generated during normal conditions of use.
• Ironing with an unsuitable programme could nonetheless leave traces that require manual
cleaning. In this case, we recommend using a soft damp cloth on the soleplate while it is still
warm to avoid damaging the coating.
• Do not use any type of cleaning or descaling product to clean the soleplate or the base unit.
• We recommend always standing your iron upright or on the iron rest to protect its coating.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under a running tap.
• Clean the plastic parts from time to time using a slightly damp soft cloth.
Easy descaling of your steam generator
To extend the life of your steam generator and avoid scale on your ironing, your steam
generator is equipped with a built-in 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.12.
Important: This operation must not be carried out unless the steam generator has
been unplugged for at least two hours and has cooled down completely. To carry out
this operation, the steam generator must be close to a sink as water may come out of
the tank when it is opened.
• Once the steam generator has completely cooled down, lift the tab
- fig.16.
• Fully unscrew the collector
- fig.17
and pull it out of the base unit
- fig.18
, it contains the scale that has built up in
the tank.
• To clean the collector, simply rinse it under running water to remove any scale it contains
- fig.19.
• You can soak the collector rod in white vinegar (available from hardware stores) or lemon juice for a few hours to
remove any stubborn scale stuck to the rod.
• Place the collector in its housing by screwing it in completely to ensure it is watertight but do not overtighten it
- fig.20-21.
• Put the tab back in place
- fig.22.
• Next time you use your appliance, press the «OK» button located below the control panel until the orange
«Anti-scale» light goes out
- fig.23.
In addition to this regular maintenance, it is advisable to rinse the tank out completely every 6 months or after
approximately 25 uses, whichever is the sooner.
Never use harsh or
abrasive cleaning
products.
Warning! Using an
abrasive pad will damage
the soleplate’s autoclean
coating - fig.27.
Do not use any descaling
substances (industrial
descaling products
etc.) when rinsing the
anti-scale collector or the
boiler tank, they could
damage it.
Before emptying your
steam generator, it must
always be left to cool for
2 hours to avoid any risks
of scalding.
