Storing your generator
• Press the illuminated on/off switch and unplug the generator. Store the
electrical cord in its storage place – fig.21.
• 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. Warning: do not touch the soleplate
while still hot.
• Slot the extension cord outlet in the notch (depending on model). Take the end
of the cord support and press to return the flexible part into the 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 –
• Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 30 minutes.
• You can then put your steam generator away, carrying it by the handle –

steam for the first time or you
have not used it for some time.
The soleplate is not hot
enough.
Your thermostat is faulty: the iron is
not hot enough.
Your ironing board is saturated with
water because it is not suitable for use
with a steam generator.
Your boiler has a build-up of scale
because it has not been rinsed out
regularly.
You are using chemical descaling agents
or additives in the water for ironing.
Fabric fibres have accumulated in the
holes of the soleplate and are burning.

and press the illuminated on/off switch.
Press on the steam control button away from your

Check that your ironing board is suitable (see page 5).
Rinse out the boiler.
Never add this type of product in the water tank or
in the boiler (see page 5 for what water may be used).

Clean the soleplate with a non-metallic sponge.
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to remove any soap deposits
or chemicals on new garments which may be sucked up by
the iron.
