Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning your steam generator
• Do not use any type of cleaning or descaling product to clean the soleplate or the base unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under a running tap.
• Cleaning the soleplate: we recommend using a soft damp cloth on the soleplate while it is
still warm to avoid damaging the coating.
• Your steam iron is fitted with an Autoclean soleplate, its exclusive active coating allows it to
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.
• We recommend always standing your iron upright or on the iron rest to protect its coating.
• Clean the plastic parts from time to time using a slightly damp soft cloth.
