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 valve, located in the tank, automatically removes the scale that forms inside.
Operation:
• An orange “anti-scale” light located on the control panel starts blinking to tell you
t
hat the anti-scale valve needs rinsing
- fig.9.
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 tank when it is opened.
• Once the steam generator has cooled down completely, remove the scale
collector cover
- fig. 10.
• Unscrew the anti-scale valve and remove it from the housing; it contains the scale
that has built up in the tank
- fig.11 and fig.12.
• To clean the valve properly, just rinse it under running water to remove the scale it contains
- fig.13.
• If you find that scale is building up on the collector, from time to time you can leave it to soak in a container
filled with lemon juice or white vinegar for around 4 hours. Rinse afterwards under running water.
• Put the valve back into its housing and screw it in completely to keep it watertight
- fig.14.
• Refit the scale collector cover
- fig. 15.
• In addition to this regular maintenance, we recommend complete rinsing of the tank every six months or after
every 25 uses. To do this:
• Check that the steam generator is cold and has been unplugged for more than 2 hours.
• Place the steam generator on the edge of the sink and put the iron standing upright alongside it.
• Remove the collector cover and unscrew the scale collector.
• Hold your steam generator at an angle and use a jug to fill the boiler with with 1/4 litre of tap water.
• Shake the case for a few seconds then empty it completely into the sink.
• Fit the collector back in its housing and screw it on tightly to ensure it is watertight.
• Put the scale collector cover back in place.
The next time you use your iron, press the “OK” button on the control panel to turn off the orange “anti-
scale” light.
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 ?
Do not use any descaling
substances (vinegar, indus-
trial descaling products, etc.)
when rinsing the anti-scale
valve : they could damage it.
Before emptying your steam
generator, it must always be
left to cool for 2 hours to
avoid any risks of scalding.
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.
