Rinsing the boiler

•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 – fig.12.

•If the orange “boiler rinse” warning light flashes, you can continue ironing normally but remember to rinse the boiler first, the next time that you use it.

•Before proceeding, check that the generator is cool and unplugged for more than 2 hours.

with the rinsing accessory

•Use the accessory provided with the packaged product. It will make it easier to rinse the boiler as the generator will need less handling.

•Your rinsing accessory has been designed to work on a wide range of taps. Choose the seal (a or b) – fig.13. that is best suited to your tap.

•Place your steam generator on the edge of your sink, with the iron to one side, standing on its heel.

•Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler rinse cap – fig.15.

•Place the plastic nozzle of the rinsing pipe into the hole of the boiler and turn gently to the right until it locks. The outlet of this nozzle must be positioned over the sink – fig.16.

•Attach the other end of the rinsing accessory to your untreated tap – fig.17.

•Turn the tap on gently and gradually and let cold water run through the rinsing pipe into the sink for about 1 minute – fig.18.

•Switch off the tap and remove the rinsing pipe.
