Dry ironing

Vertical steam ironing
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.
• 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.
• Holding the iron in a vertical position tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam
control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom.

thick fabrics.

Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your steam generator
Durilium Airglide Autoclean soleplate:
• Your steam iron is fitted with a Durilum Airglide Autoclean soleplate: Its exclusive active coating allows it to
eliminate any impurities that may be regularly generated during normal conditions of use.
• Ironing with an unsuitable program could nonetheless leave traces that require manual cleaning. In this case, we
recommend using a soft damp cloth on the soleplate while it is still warm to avoid damaging the coating.
Warning! Using an abrasive pad will damage the soleplate’s autoclean coating
• Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate base-unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic washing up pad.
• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.
Easy descaling of your steam generator
To extend the life of your steam generator and avoid scale on your ironing, your steam
generator is equipped with a built-in scale collector. This collector, located in the boiler
tank, automatically removes the scale that forms inside.
Operation:
• An orange «anti-calc» light located on the control panel starts flashing to tell you that the anti-calc collector needs
rinsing.
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 boiler tank when it is opened.
• Once the steam generator has completely cooled down, fully unscrew the collector - and pull it out of the base unit -
it contains the scale that has built up in the boiler tank.
• To clean the collector, simply rinse it under running water to remove any scale it contains .
• You can soak the collector rod in white vinegar (available from hardware stores) or lemon juice or citric acid for a few
hours to remove any stubborn scale stuck to the rod.
• Place the collector in its housing by screwing it in completely to ensure it is watertight but do not overtighten it.
• Put the tab 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.
In addition to this regular maintenance, it is advisable to rinse the boiler tank out completely every 6 months or after
approximately 25 uses, whichever is the sooner.
Before cleaning, ensure
your steam generator is
unplugged and that the
soleplate and the iron have
cooled down.
Recommendations: for
fabrics other than linen
or cotton, hold the iron a
few centimetres from the
garment to avoid burning
the fabric.
