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 ProtectTM Autoclean soleplate (depending on model):
• Its exclusive active coating allows it to eliminate any impurities that may be regularly generated during normal
conditions of use.
• Ironing with an unsuitable program 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.
Warning! Using an abrasive pad will damage the soleplate's autoclean coating
• Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate base-unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic washing up pad.

Before cleaning, ensure
your steam generator is
unplugged and that the
soleplate and the iron have
and cooled down.
Operation:
• An orange «anti-calc» light located on the control panel starts flashing to tell you that the anti-calc collector needs
n a
rinsing.
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 boiler tank when it is opened.
• Once the steam generator has completely cooled down, lift the tab.
• Fully unscrew the collector - and pull it out of the base unit - it contains the scale that has built up in the boiler tank.
• To clean the collector, simply rinse it under running water to remove any scale it contains .
• 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.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
• 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.
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 boiler
tank, automatically removes the scale that forms inside.
