• To clean the valve properly, just rinse it under running water to remove the scale it contains -
fig.21.
• Put the valve back into its housing and screw it in completely to keep it watertight - fig.22.
• Put the cap back on.

"Auto off" System

• For your safety, the generator is equipped with an "auto off" system which switches the generator
to standby mode if it is not used for 8 minutes or if you forget to turn it off.
• A red light blinks on the control panel to indicate that the appliance is in standby mode - fig.16.
• To reactivate the generator:
- Press the "Restart" button or push the steam control trigger.
- Wait for the light on the "steam ready" button to stop blinking before your start ironing again.
• If the steam trigger is not pressed for at least 8 minutes, the "auto off" system will cut off your
generator for your safety.
• Place the iron on the iron rest of the generator.
• Press the illuminated on/off switch and unplug the generator.
• Raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place (audible click) – fig.2. Your iron is
then safely retained on its base.
• Store the steam cord in its slide storage place. Take it, fold it in two so as to make a loop. Put the
end of this loop in the slide storage place then push gently until you see the end on the other
side of the slide storage place – fig.26.
• Fold the Ultracord system back on the heel - fig.8.
• Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 1 hour.
• You can then put your steam generator away, carrying it by the handle of the iron.
