Maintenance and cleaning Cleaning your generator

•Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate base-unit.

•Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.•Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic washing up pad.•Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.

Cleaning tip: For easier, non-corrosive cleaning of your iron’s soleplate, use a damp sponge on the soleplate while it is still warm.

Do not use any descaling substances (vinegar, industrial descaling products, etc.) when rinsing anti-scale valve : they could damage it. Before descaling and cleaning your generator, you must let it cool down for at least 2 hours to avoid any risk of burns.

For longer generator life, and to avoid scale emissions, your generator

is equipped with a built-in anti-scale valve. This valve, located in the tank, automatically removes the scale that forms inside.

Operation:

•An orange “anti-scale” light located on the control panel starts blinking to tell you that the anti-scale valve needs rinsing - fig.13

Caution: this operation must not be performed until the generator has been unplugged for at least two hours and has completely cooled down.

When performing this operation, the generator should be placed near a sink as water may flow out of the tank when it is opened.

•Once the generator has cooled down completely, remove the anti-scale valve cap - fig.16

•Unscrew the anti-scale valve and remove it from the housing; it contains the scale that has built up in the tank - fig.17 and fig.18.

•To clean the valve properly, just rinse it under running water to remove the scale it contains - fig.19.

•Put the valve back into its housing and screw it in completely to keep it watertight - fig.20.

•Put the cap back on.

The next time you use your iron, press the “reset” button on the control panel to turn off the orange “anti-scale” light.

“Auto off” System

•For your safety, the generator is equipped with an “auto off” system which switches the generator to standby mode if it is not used for 8 minutes or if you forget to turn it off.

•A red light blinks on the control panel to indicate that the appliance is in standby mode - fig.15.

•To reactivate the generator:-Press the “Restart” button.

-Wait for the light on the “steam ready” button to stop blinking before your start ironing again.

•If the steam trigger is not pressed for at least 8 minutes, the “auto off” system will cut off your generator for your safety.
