Maintenance and cleaning
Before cleaning, ensure that your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest
have cooled down.
Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate or the base unit.
Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
Cleaning the soleplate
•
Regularly clean the soleplate with a non-metallic sponge.

Filling the boiler during use
•
VERY IMPORTANT : Before opening your boiler, ensure that there is
no more steam left inside by pressing the steam control button (C)
located on the handle of the iron and keep it pressed down until
there is no more steam.
•
Stop the generator by pressing the on/off switch and disconnecting
the plug.
•
Slowly unscrew the boiler cap.
•
Using a water jug, fill with maximum 1 litre of water.
•
Fill the boiler (A), taking care that the water does not spill over. If
this occurs, remove the excess water.
•
Replace the boiler cap, screwing on tightly, reconnect your generator
to the mains, and switch it on.
•
Wait until the boiler heats up. After approximately 8 minutes or
when the steam ready indicator light comes on (according to
model), the steam is ready.
•
Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft
dampened cloth.
(once a month)
•
Be careful : To extend the life of your boiler and to avoid the building
up of scale, it is essential that you rinse out the boiler at least after
every 10 uses (H) (approximately once a month).
•
Check that the generator is cold and unplugged for more than 2
hours.
•
Using a jug, fill the boiler 3/4 full with untreated tap water.
•
Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it comple-
tely over your sink (I).
•
To obtain the best results, we advise you to repeat this operation.
Never 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
withstand high temperatures.
