10 • MAINTAINING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
• Before cleaning, ensure that the appliance is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron rest
have cooled down.
• 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 place the iron on a metal rest as this could damage it.
Place it on the iron rest on the base unit : it has non-slip pads and has been designed to with-
stand high temperatures.
1. The removable water tank: Empty and rinse the removable water tank (14)
2. The Iron soleplate
You can clean the soleplate of your iron, once it has cooled down,
with a damp cloth or sponge.
If the soleplate is badly soiled, we recommend one of the commercially
available specialist cleaning products.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive products for cleaning the soleplate.
Do not place the iron on a rough support.
During pauses in ironing, always place the iron on the rest plate provided
on the steam generator.
3. The base unit: Clean the plastic parts occasionally with a soft cloth.
11 • THE ORANGE “BOILER RINSE”
LIGHT FLASHES
I - TO RINSE THE BOILER USING RINSING ACCESSORY
GB
Note:
• 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 after about 10 uses.
• If your water is hard, increase the frequency.
• Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.
For greater effectiveness and for ease of operation, you are advised to use the rinsing
accessory provided in the box. 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.
It is supplied with 2 types of membrane (a) (b). Choose the one best suited to your tap.
If you do not wish to, or cannot use the rinsing accessory, refer to the advice in paragraph II.
