“Auto off” System
• For your safety, the generator is equipped with an “auto off” system which switches the
generator to standby mode if it is not used for 8 minutes or if you forget to turn it off.
• A red light blinks on the control panel to indicate that the appliance is in standby mode -
fig.15.
• To reactivate the generator:
- Press the “Restart” button.
- Wait for the light on the “steam ready” button to stop blinking before your start ironing
again.
• If the steam trigger is not pressed for at least 8 minutes, the “auto off” system will cut off
your generator for your safety.
Storing your generator
• Place the iron on the iron rest of the generator.
• Press the illuminated on/off switch and unplug the generator.
• Raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place (audible click) –
fig.2. Your
iron is then safely retained on its base.
• Store the steam cord in its slide storage place. Take it, fold it in two so as to make a loop.
Put the end of this loop in the slide storage place then push gently until you see the end on
the other side of the slide storage place –
fig.24.
• Fold the Ultracord system back on the heel - fig.8.
• Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 1 hour.
• You can then put your steam generator away, carrying it by the handle of the iron.
A problem with your generator ?
PROBLEMS CAUSES SOLUTIONS
The generator does not come
on and the thermostat light and
the on/off switch are not
illuminated.
The appliance is not switched on.
The “auto off” system is activated.
Check that your appliance is correctly plugged in
and press the illuminated on/off switch.
Press the “restart” button.
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.
Press on the steam control button away from your
ironing board until the iron produces steam.
The soleplate is not hot
enough.
Decrease the steam output while ironing at low
temperature (steam output control dial on the
control panel). Wait for the thermostat light to go out before
activating the steam control button.
Contact an Approved Service Centre.
Water streaks appear on the
linen.
Your ironing board is saturated with water
because it is not suitable for use with a
steam generator.
Make sure you have a vented/mesh ironing board
White streaks come through
the holes in the soleplate.
Your boiler has a build-up of scale because
it has not been rinsed out regularly.
Rinse the anti-scale valve (see the “descaling
your generator” section).
Brown streaks come through
the holes in the soleplate and
stain the linen.
You are using chemical descaling agents or
additives in the water for ironing.
Never add this type of product in the water tank or
in the boiler (see for what water may be used). Contact an
Approved Service Centre.
Fabric fibres have accumulated in the holes
of the soleplate and are burning.
Clean the soleplate with a non-metallic sponge.
Your linen is not rinsed sufficiently or you
have ironed a new garment before washing it.
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to remove any soap deposits or
chemicals on new garments which may be sucked up by the iron.
The soleplate is dirty or brown
and may stain the linen.
You are ironing at too high a
temperature.
See our recommendations regarding temperature
control setting.
You are using starch. Always spray starch on the reverse side of the
fabric to be ironed.
