14 • Cleaning the generator
The water tank : empty and rinse the
removable water tank.
The soleplate : you can clean the soleplate of
your iron, once it has cooled down, with a damp
cloth or sponge.
The base unit : clean the plastic parts
occasionally with a soft dampened cloth.
The brush : clean it from time to time with a
soft cloth.
To remove the head of the brush : press
on one of the side buttons then gently pull the
head away by rotating it slightly.. Clean it gently
with water. To re-fit the head, push it onto the
brush until you hear a "click"
15 • Rinsing the boiler
To extend the efficient operating life of your boiler
and avoid scale particles on your linen, your
generator is equipped with an orange “boiler
rinse” warning light that flashes on the control
panel (fig.25) after about 10 uses. You can
continue ironing normally but remember to rinse
the boiler first, the next time that you use it.
Empty the tank (fig.26). Place your steam
generator on the edge of your sink. Remove the
brush support located at the side of the appliance
(
fig.27). Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler
rinse cap (
fig.28).
with the rinsing accessory : use the
accessory provided with the packaged
product. It will make it easier to rinse the boiler
as the generator will need less handling. Your
rinsing accessory has been designed to work
on a wide range of taps. Choose the
membrane (
fig.29a or 29b) that is best suited
to your tap.
Place the plastic nozzle of the rinsing pipe into the
hole of the boiler and turn gently to the right until
it locks (
fig.30).The outlet of this nozzle must be
positioned over the sink.
Attach the other end of the rinsing accessory to
your tap (
fig.31). Turn the tap on gently and
gradually and let cold water run through the
rinsing pipe into the sink for about 1 minute
(
fig.32). Switch off the tap and remove the
rinsing pipe.
or
without the rinsing accessory :
Holding
your steam generator in a tilted position, and
using a jug, fill the boiler with 1/4 litre of tap
water (
fig.33). Shake the base unit for a few
moments and then empty it completely over
your sink (
fig.34).
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning or emptying your generator, it is imperative that you turn it off, unplug it
and leave it to cool for more than 2 hours, to prevent any risk of burns.

To return to ironing mode, set the Ironing / Crease
Removal selector to the Ironing position (see USE
IN IRONING MODE).
For delicate materials, put the brush as
close as possible to the fabric without
touching it.
As steam is very hot :
-never attempt to remove creases from a
garment while it is being worn, always
hang garments on a coat hanger (fig.24),
- never direct steam towards the hand that
is holding the fabric.
