Storing your generator
•Place the iron on the iron rest of the generator
•Press the illuminated on/off switch and unplug the generator.
•Pull the cover over the iron until the protection system automatically locks (you will hear a “click” )
•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 – fig.24.
•Fold the Ultracord system back on the heel - fig.8.
•Put the power cord away - fig. 22
•Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 1 hour.
•You can then put your steam generator away, carrying it by the handle.
