Do not use any descaling substances (vinegar, industrial descaling products, etc.) when rinsing the anti-scalevalve:

they coulddamage it. Before emptying yoursteam generator, it must always be left to cool for 2 hours to avoid any risksof scalding.

Easy descaling of your steam generator:

To extend the lifeof your steam generator and avoid scale on your ironing,your steam generator is equipped with a built-in scale collector. Thisvalve, located in the tank,

automatically removes the scale that forms inside.

Operation:

•An orange“anti-scale”lightlocated on the control panel starts blinking to tell youthattheanti- scale valve needsrinsing - fig.12.

Important: This operation must not be carried out unless the steam generatorhas been unplugged for at least two hours and has cooled down completely.

To carry out this operation, the steam generator must be close to a sink as water may come out of the tank when it is opened.

•Once thesteamgenerator has cooleddowncompletely,removethe scale collectorcover - fig. 13.

•Unscrewthe anti-scale valveand removeit from the housing;it contains the scalethathasbuilt up in the tank - fig.14 and fig.15.

•To clean the valve properly, just rinse it under running water to remove the scale it contains- fig.16.

•Put the valve back intoits housing and screw it in completely to keep it watertight - fig.17.

•Refit the scale collectorcover - fig. 18.

The next timeyou use your iron, press the “restart” buttonon the control panelto turn off the orange “anti-scale”light.
