12 • MAINTAINING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
• Before cleaning, ensure that the appliance is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest
have cooled down.
• Do not use any cleaning or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate or the base-unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Do not place the iron on a metal rest as this could damage it.
Place it on the iron rest on the base unit : it has non-slip pads and has been designed to with-
stand high temperatures.
The iron soleplate
You can clean the soleplate of your iron, once it has cooled down, with a damp cloth or sponge.
If the soleplate is badly soiled, we recommend one of the commercially available specialist clea-
ning products.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive products for cleaning the soleplate.
Do not place the iron on a rough support.
During pauses in ironing, always place the iron on the rest plate provided on the steam generator.
The base unit:
Clean the plastic parts occasionally with a soft cloth.
13 • RINSING OUT THE BOILER
Be careful:
To extend the life of your boiler and to avoid any build up of scale, it is essential that you rinse
out the boiler after every 10 uses. If your water is hard, increase the frequency.
In particular, do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.
1. Check that the generator is cold and unplugged for more than 1 hour.
2. With a jug, fill the boiler 3/4 full with tap water.
3. Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely
over your sink (26).
For best results, we advise you to repeat this operation.
14 • PUTTING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR AWAY
1. Press the illuminated on/off switch and disconnect the generator
from the mains.
2. Place the iron on the iron rest plate.
3. Place the steam cord and the power cord in the storage compartment.
4. Turn the positioning button for the cord guide to the storage position (27).
5. Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 30 minutes.
You can now put your steam generator away.
