11.THE ORANGE "BOILER RINSE" LIGHT FLASHES
Note:
• To extend the efficient operating life of your boiler and
avoid scale particles on your linen, your generator is
equipped with an orange "boiler rinse" warning light that flashes
on the control panel after about 10 uses.
• If your water is hard, increase the frequency.
• Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.
1.TO RINSE THE BOILER USING RINSING ACCESSORY
For greater effectiveness and for ease of operation, you are advised to use
the rinsing accessory provided in the box.
It will make it easier to rinse the boiler as the generator will need less handling.

2
Your rinsing accessory has been designed to work on a wide range of taps.
It is supplied with 2 types of membrane (a) (b). Choose the one best suited
to your tap.
If you do not wish to, or cannot use the rinsing accessory, refer to the advice
in paragraph II (next page).
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.
If the orange "boiler rinse" light flashes, you can continue ironing normally
but remember to rinse the boiler first, the next time that you use it.
1. Check that the generator is cold and unplugged.
2. The protective hood must be folded down over the tank.
3. Place your steam generator on the edge of your sink, with the iron to
one side, standing on its heel.
4. Unscrew the cord clip by turning a quarter turn to the left (18).
5. Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler rinse plug (19).
6. Place the plastic nozzle
of the rinsing pipe into the hole of the boiler
1
and turn gently to the right until it locks. The outlet of this nozzle must be
positioned over the sink (20).
7. Connect the rubber end
2
of the rinsing pipe to a cold tap (21).
8. Turn the tap on gently and gradually and let cold water run through
the rinsing pipe into the sink for about 1 minute (22).
9. Switch off the tap and remove the rinsing pipe.
10. Screw back and tighten up the boiler rinse plug with a coin.
11. Put the cord clip back in place.
The next time you use the generator, hold down
12.
the "reset" button for 2 to 3 seconds to turn off
the orange light.
13- SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Your steam generator is an electrical appliance. It should be used under
normal conditions. It is intended for domestic use only.
• Your generator is fitted with 2 safety systems :
- A pressure release valve which, in the event of a malfunction, releases any
excess steam.
- A thermal fuse to prevent the appliance from overheating.
• This appliance is not intended to be used by children or without
supervision by persons whose physical, sensory or mental aptitude
to use it in complete safety is impaired. Children must be super-
vised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The appliance must be used and placed on a stable, heat-resistant
surface.
• Completely unwind the power cord from its storage space before
connecting to an earthed socket.
• Always plug your steam generator into:
- An electrical installation with voltage between 220V and 240V. Connecting
to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and
will invalidate your guarantee.
- An earthed socket. If you are using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is
correctly rated (10A) with an earth, and is fully extended.
• Should the power cord or the boiler cord linking the iron to the base unit
become damaged, it must be replaced by a TEFAL approved service centre to
avoid the risk of danger or injury.
Be careful:
• The soleplate and generator iron-rest can become very hot and
cause burns : never touch these parts.
• If you store your iron in a cupboard or confined space, ensure that it is left
to cool before putting it away.
• Your appliance gives off steam which can cause burns.
• Handle your iron carefully, particularly when using the vertical steam
function
• Never direct the steam towards persons or animals.
• Never touch the electric cords with the soleplate of the iron.
• Never leave the appliance unattended :
- when it is connected to the mains,
- until it has cooled down (around 1 hour).
• Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord.
• Always unplug your appliance :
- before rinsing out the boiler,
- before cleaning your generator,
- after each use.
• Before unscrewing the boiler rinse plug, wait until the generator is cold
(unplugged for more than 2 hours).
• Never fill the boiler through the rinse hole (except for rinsing)
• Never immerse your steam generator in water or any other liquid. Never
hold it under the water tap
• While rinsing out the boiler, never fill it directly under the tap.
• The appliance must not be used if it has fallen to the floor, shows evidence
of damage, leaks or fails to function correctly.
Never dismantle your appliance.To avoid any danger, have it inspected in a
TEFAL approved service centre.
• If you lose or damage the boiler rinse plug, have it replaced by a TEFAL
Approved Service Centre.
This appliance is designed for domestic use only. In the case of professional
