Operation:
• An orange “Calc-Away System” light
located -
fig. 18 on the control panel
starts flashing to tell you that the scale
collector needs rinsing.
• Once the steam generator has cooled,
unscrew the scale collector cover -
fig. 19.
• Unscrew the scale collector and remove
it from the housing; it contains the scale
that has built up in the tank -
fig. 20.
• To clean the collector properly, just
rinse it under running water to remove
the scale it contains-
fig. 21.
• Put the scale collector back into its
housing and screw it in completely to
keep it watertight -
fig. 22.
• Screw the scale collector cover back in
place -
fig. 23.
Apart from this regular maintenance
process, we recommend that you rinse
the boiler completely every 6 months, or
every 25 times you use your iron.
• 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 base.
• Remove the collector cover and
unscrew the scale collector. -
fig. 19-20.
• Hold your steam generator at an angle
and use a jug to fill the boiler with 1/4
litre of untreated tap water. -
fig. 24.
• Shake the base unit for a few seconds
then empty it completely into the sink. -
fig. 25-26.
• Fit the scale collector back in its housing
and screw it in tightly to ensure it is
watertight. Do not overtighten the scale
collector -
fig. 22.
• Put the scale collector cover back in
place. -
fig. 23.
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 pa-
nel to turn off the orange “Calc Away
System collector” indicator.
The steam generator does not work
without the scale collector.
Regular descaling of your steam
generator helps to maintain its
steam performance over time
