MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning or rinsing the boiler, ensure that the appliance is unplugged and that the
soleplate and the iron rest have cooled down for at least 2 hours, in order to avoid any risk
of scalding.
11 • Cleaning the generator
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.
The Iron soleplate:
soleplate of your iron, once it has cooled down,
with a damp cloth or sponge.
The base unit:
Clean the plastic parts of the
appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.
12 • Rinsing the boiler
Your generator is equipped with an orange
"boiler rinse" warning light (fig.9) that flashes
on the control panel after about 10 uses.
You can continue ironing normally but
remember to rinse the boiler first, the next
time that you use it.
ATTENTION: Do not use descaling agents
for rinsing out the boiler, as they could
damage it.
Before attempting to rinse the boiler of your
generator, it is essential to leave it to cool for
at least 2 hours in order to avoid any risk of
scalding.
Place your steam generator on the edge of your
sink, with the iron to one side, standing on its
heel. Remove the boiler rinse cap cover (fig.14).
Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler rinse cap
(fig.15).

10 • Storing your generator
Press the illuminated on/off switch O/I and
unplug the generator. Place the iron on the iron
rest plate. Press the cord reel button (depen-
ding on model) and guide the cord with your
hand (fig.12) and store the steam cord.
Leave the iron to cool down for 1 hour before
putting it away if it is stored in a cupboard or
confined space.
Choose the one best suited to your tap (a or
b)(fig.16). Place the plastic nozzle of the
rinsing pipe into the hole of the boiler and turn
gently to the right until it locks (fig.17). The
outlet of this nozzle must be positioned over
the sink (fig.18). Connect the rubber end ¡ of
the rinsing pipe to a cold tap (R). Turn the tap
on gently and gradually and let cold water run
through the rinsing pipe into the sink for about
1 minute (fig.19). Switch off the tap and
remove the rinsing pipe.
Or
With the rinsing accessory:
Gently unscrew the boiler rinse plug (fig.14).
Holding your steam generator in a tilted
position, and using a jug, fill the boiler (in the
base unit) with 1/4 litre of tap water.
Shake the base unit for a few moments and
then empty it completely over your sink.
To obtain the best result, we recommend that
this operation is done twice.
The next time you use the generator, hold
down the "restart" (fig.20) button to turn
off the orange light. .
