Caution: this operation must not be performed until the generator has been unplugged for
at least two hours and has completely cooled down. When performing this operation, the
generator should be placed near a sink as water may flow out of the tank when it is
opened.
• Once the generator has cooled down completely, remove the anti-scale valve cap - fig.18
• Unscrew the anti-scale valve and remove it from the housing; it contains the scale that has built
up in the tank - fig.19 and fig.20.
• To clean the valve properly, just rinse it under running water to remove the scale it contains -
fig.21.
• Put the valve back into its housing and screw it in completely to keep it watertight - fig.22.
• Put the cap back on.
The next time you use your iron, press the “reset” button on the control panel to turn off the
orange “anti-scale” light - fig.13
“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.16.
• To reactivate the generator:
- Press the "Restart" button or push the steam control trigger.
- 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.26.
• 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.
