•If you find that scale is building up on the collector, from time to time you can leave it to soak in a container filled with lemon juice or white vinegar for around 4 hours. Rinse afterwards under running water.
•Put the valve back into its housing and screw it in completely to keep it watertight.
•Refit the scale collector cover.
•In addition to this regular maintenance, we recommend complete rinsing of the tank every six months or after every 25 uses. To do this:
•Check that the steam generator is cold and has been unplugged for more than 2 hours.
•Place the steam generator on the edge of the sink and put the iron standing upright alongside it.
•Remove the collector cover and unscrew the scale collector.
•Hold your steam generator at an angle and use a jug to fill the boiler with with 1/4 litre of tap water.
•Shake the case for a few seconds then empty it completely into the sink.
•Fit the collector back in its housing and screw it on tightly to ensure it is watertight.
•Put the scale collector cover back in place.
The next time you use your iron, press the “OK” button on the control panel to turn off the orange
Rinsing the boiler, once a month (Fig. B)
Before cleaning, ensure your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron have cooled down.
•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 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.
•Place the steam generator on the edge of your sink, with the iron placed to one side, standing on its heel.
•Unscrew
•Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler rinse cap.
•Holding the steam generator in a tilted position, and using a jug, fill the boiler with ¼ litre of untreated tap water .
•Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely into your sink.
•To obtain the best results, we recommend that this operation is done twice.
•Screw back and tighten up the boiler rinse cap with a coin.
•Put the boiler rinse cap cover back in place.
•The next time you use the generator hold down the “OK” button for a few seconds to turn off the orange light Fig. 12.
Storing your generator
•Warning: do not touch the soleplate while still hot.
•Fold the carrying arm down onto the iron until it clicks into position, ensuring that your iron is safely locked onto its housing (depending on model).
•Store the electrical cord in its storage place - fig.7.
•Store the steam cord away in its compartment - fig.8.
•Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 1 hour before storing it away.
