Filling the boiler during use
• VERY IMPORTANT : Before opening your boiler, ensure that there is no more
steam left inside by pressing the steam control button (B) located on the handle
of the iron and keep it pressed down until there is no more steam.
• Stop the generator by pressing the on/off switch and unplugging the plug.
• Slowly unscrew the boiler cap.
• Using a water jug, fill with maximum 1 litre of water.
• Fill the boiler, taking care that the water does not spill over. If this occurs,
remove the excess water.
• Replace the boiler cap, screwing on tightly. Plug your generator into the mains,
and switch it on.
• Wait until the boiler heats up. After approximately 8 minutes or when the steam
ready indicator light comes off, the steam is ready.
Storing the generator
• Turn off at the main switch and unplug.
• Wind the electric cord around the cord tidy (D).
• Place the iron on the rest.
• Storing the steam cord (E).
• Leave the steam generator to cool down before putting it away
if it is stored in a cupboard or confined space.
• You can store your steam generator in complete safety.
Maintenance and cleaning
Before cleaning, ensure that your steam generator is unplugged and that the
soleplate and the iron rest have cooled down.
Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate
or the base unit.
Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
Cleaning the soleplate
• Regularly clean the soleplate with a non-metallic sponge and warm water.
Cleaning the unit
• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft dampened
cloth.
Rinsing the boiler (once a month)
• Be careful : To extend the life of your boiler and to avoid the build up of scale, it
is essential that you rinse out the boiler at least after every 10 uses (approxima-
tely once a month).
• Check that the generator is cold and unplugged for more than 2 hours.
• Slowly unscrew the boiler cap.
• Using a jug, fill the boiler 3/4 full with untreated tap water.
• Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely over
your sink (F).
• To obtain the best results, we advise you to repeat this operation.
Never unscrew the boiler
cap while it’s still
steaming.
If your water is hard,
increase the frequency.
In particular, do not use
descaling agents for
rinsing out the boiler, as
they could damage it.
