Rinsing the boiler (once a month)
• 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 - fig. 9.
• If the orange “boiler rinse” warning light flashes, you can continue ironing normally
b
ut remember to rinse the boiler first the next time that you use it.
• Before proceeding, check that the generator is cool and unplugged for more
than 2 hours.
• Place the steam generator on the edge of your sink, with the iron placed to one side,
standing on its heel.
• Unscrew anti-clockwise a quarter of a turn the boiler rinse cap
- fig. 10.
• Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler rinse cap - fig. 11.
• Holding the steam generator in a tilted position, and using a jug, fill the boiler with ¼
litre of untreated tap water - fig. 12.
• Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely into your sink -
fig. 13.
• To obtain the best results, we recommend that this operation is done twice.
• Screw back and tighten up the boiler rinse cap with a coin.
• Put the boiler rinse cap cover back in place.
• The next time you use the generator hold down the “OK” button for a few seconds to turn off the
orange light
- fig. 17.
Storing your generator
• Warning: do not touch the soleplate while still hot.
• Fold the carrying arm down onto the iron until it clicks into position, ensuring that
your iron is safely locked onto its housing (depending on model).
• Store the electrical cord in its storage place -
fig.7.
• Store the steam cord away in its compartment - fig.8.
• Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 1 hour before storing it away.
A problem with your generator ?
Caution! Above all, you
must not use descaling
products to rinse the boiler:
they may damage it.
Before cleaning or
emptying your generator, it
is imperative that you leave
it to cool for more than 2
hours, to prevent any risk
of burns.
Before cleaning, ensure
your steam generator
is unplugged and that
the soleplate and the
iron have cooled down.
PROBLEMS CAUSES SOLUTIONS
The steam generator does not
switch on or the iron indicator and
ON/OFF indicator do not switch on.
The appliance is not switched on. Check that your appliance is
correctly plugged in and press the
illuminated on/off switch.
Water runs out of the holes in the
soleplate.
Water has condensed in the pipes
because you are using steam for the
first time or you have not used it for
some time.
The soleplate is not hot enough.
Press on the steam control button
away from your ironing board until
the iron produces steam.
Wait for the thermostat light to go
out before activating the steam
button.
Water streaks appear on the linen. Your ironing board is saturated with
water because it is not suitable for
use with a steam generator.
Check that your ironing board is
suitable. We recommend that you
use a mesh type ironing board.
