hing to let you know that the collector
needs rinsing.
• Once the steam generator has completely
cooled down, remove the scale collector
- fig.18.
• Unscrew the scale collector valve and
remove it from the base unit; it contains
the scale that has built up in the tank
-
fig.18.
• To clean the collector properly, just rinse
it under running water to remove the
scale it contains - fig.19. You can soak the
collector in white vinegar or lemon juice
for a few hours to remove any stubborn
scale stuck to the collector.
• Put the collector back in its housing and
screw it in completely to keep it water-
tight but do not overtighten it
- fig.20.
• Put the scale collector cover back in place
- fig.20.
Apart from this regular maintenance pro-
cess, 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.18.
• Hold your steam generator at an angle
and use a jug to fill the boiler with 1/4 litre
of tap water - Fig.21.
• Shake the base for a few seconds then
empty it completely into the sink - Fig.22
and 23.
• Fit the collector back in its housing and
screw it on tightly to ensure it is water-
tight but do not over-tighten it - Fig.20.
• Put the scale collector cover back in place
- Fig.20.
Important! This operation must not be
carried out unless the steam generator

hours and has cooled down comple-
tely. To carry out this operation, the
steam generator must be close to a sink
as water may come out of the tank.
