Cleaning your steam generator
• 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.
• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.
Easy descaling of your steam generator
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.
• The Orange warning light flashes on the control panel after about 10 uses. This is the «anti-calc, boiler rinse» warning
light. You can continue to iron normally but remember to rinse the boiler first before the next time that you use it.
• Before proceeding, check that the generator is cool and unplugged for more than 2 hours.
• Lift the tab and fully unscrew the collector
To clean the collector, simply rinse it under running water to remove any scale it contains - You can also soak the
collector rod in white vinegar or lemon juice for a few hours to remove any stubborn scale stuck to the rod.
• Place the collector in its housing by screwing it in completely to ensure it is watertight but do not overtighten it
• Put the tab back in place
• Next time you use your appliance, press the «OK» button located below the control panel until the orange
«Anti-Calc» light goes
In addition to this regular maintenance, it is advisable to rinse the boiler tank out completely every 6 months or 25
uses, whichever is the sooner.

• Place the steam generator on the edge of your sink and stand the iron upright.

Shake the base unit gently for a few seconds and then empty it completely into the sink.
• Place the collector in its housing by screwing it in completely to ensure it is watertight but do not overtighten it.

«Anti-Calc» light goes out.
