• Leave the steam generator to cool for at

least one hour before putting it away if it

is to be stored in a cupboard or confined

space. You can then store your steam

generator safely.

MAINTENANCE AND

CLEANING

11 • Cleaning the generator

• The iron soleplate: Clean the soleplate of

your iron when it is cool with a damp

cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.

•

The base unit: Clean the plastic parts of

the appliance occasionally with a soft

cloth.

12 • Easy descaling of your

steam generator

For models with scale collector.

• To extend the life of your steam

generator and avoid scale on your

ironing, your steam generator is

equipped with a built-in scale collector.

This collector, located in the boiler,

automatically removes the scale that

forms inside.

Operation:

• An orange “Calc-Away System” light

located - fig. 15 on the control panel

starts flashing to tell you that the scale

collector needs rinsing.

• Once the steam generator has cooled

completely, remove the scale collector

cover -

fig. 16.

• Unscrew the scale collector and remove

it from the housing; it contains the scale

that has built up in the tank - fig. 17.

• To clean the collector properly, just rinse

it under running water to remove the

scale it contains - fig. 18.

• Put the collector back into its housing

and screw it in completely to keep it

watertight - fig. 19.

• Put the scale collector cover back on - fig.

In addition to this regular maintenance

procedure, we recommend that you rinse

the boiler completely once every 6

months, or once every 25 times you use

your steam generator.

• Make sure that the steam generator has

been unplugged and allowed to cool for

at least 2 hours.

• Place the steam generator on the edge of

your sink and the iron to one side, on its

heel.

• Remove the collector cover and unscrew

the scale collector -

fig. 16-17.

• Hold your steam generator at an angle

and use a jug to fill the boiler with 1/4 litre

of tap water.- fig. 24.

• Shake the base unit for a few seconds

then empty it completely into the sink.-

fig. 25-26.

• Fit the collector back in its housing and

screw it on tightly to ensure it is

watertight but do not overtighten it - fig.

19.

• Put the scale collector cover back in

place.- fig. 20.

Do not use any cleaning or descaling

products for cleaning the soleplate

or the base-unit. Never hold the iron

or the base unit under the tap.

Do not use any descaling substances

(vinegar, industrial descaling

products, etc.) when rinsing the scale

collector: they could damage it.

Before emptying your steam

generator, it must always be left to

cool for 2 hours to avoid any risks of

scalding.

IMPORTANT! This operation must

not be carried out unless the steam

generator has 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.

The next time you use your iron,

press the “Restart” button on the

control panel to turn off the orange

“Calc-Away System” light.
