MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

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.
11 • Cleaning the station
• The iron soleplate:
your iron when it is cool with a damp
cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.
• The base unit: Clean the plastic parts of the
appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.
12 • Easy descaling of your
steam station
Do not use any descaling substances
(vinegar, industrial descaling products,
etc.) when rinsing the scale collector: they
could damage it.
Before emptying your steam station, it
must always be left to cool for 2 hours to
avoid any risks of scalding.
The water in the appliance may still be
hot and cause burns even after 2 hours of
cooling down. Handle the appliance with
care when then collector is removed,
particularly when you are emptying it.
• To extend the life of your steam station and
avoid scale on your ironing, your steam station
is equipped with a built-in scale collector. This
collector, located in the boiler, automatically
removes the scale that forms inside.
Operation:
• An orange "Calc Away OK button" light located
fig. 15
- on the control panel starts flashing to
tell you that the scale collector needs rinsing.
• Once the steam station has cooled completely,
remove the scale collector -
IMPORTANT! This operation must not be
carried out unless the steam station has
been unplugged for at least two hours and
has cooled down completely. To carry out
this operation, the steam station must be
close to a sink as water may come out of
the tank when it is opened.
