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 / RESTART” button on the control panel to turn off the orange
Storing your generator
•Press the illuminated on/off switch and unplug the generator. Store the electrical cord in its storage place – fig.17.
•Raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place (audible click) – fig.2. Your iron is then safely retained on its base. Warning: do not touch the soleplate while still hot.
•Wind the steam cord around the generator and insert it in its side storage place. – fig.18.
•Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 30 minutes.
•You can then put your steam generator away, carrying it by the handle – fig.1.
