The descaling system Calc proof does not
purify water from impurities other than
limescale. We recommend to check that mains
water is not contaminated by these impurities
that could affect the performance of the Power
Perfection. Water may drip out of the soleplate
and can compromise the ironing quality.
If you wish to clean it after using the Power
Perfection, wait at least 3 hours until the
steam generator has completely cooled down.
1. Make sure the appliance is disconnected from
the electrical socket.
Clean it near a sink and away from fabrics
so that they don't get stained.
2. Remove the water reservoir (8) and place the
steam generator on a steady flat surface.
3. Turn the steam generator upside down. Unscrew
the protection plastic lid (7) and the boiler closing
cap (7a) using an Allen spanner.
4. Empty the boiler of any residual water.
5. Fill the boiler with 500 ml of water. Then close,
shake the steam generator and empty it. Repeat
the operation at least twice.
6. Close the boiler, making sure its closing cap has
been fastened all the way. Then re-place the
protection plastic lid.
7. Re-place the boiler in its ordinary usage position.
8. Connect the appliance to a socket and press the
ON/OFF button (18).
9. Hold down the descaling button for at least
5 seconds or until a buzzer sounds and the
descaling button turns.
When you start the steam generator again,
before using the steam function on the
garments press the steam button for at least one
minute to eject any residues or particles that
could stain the fabrics.
HINTS
If your steam generator is equipped with the Optimal
Soleplate Temperature technology, you need not
adjust the temperature and/or steam. You can iron all
the types of fabrics that can be ironed in any order.
• Sort the garments out according to the fabric
types. This will reduce the need to adjust the
temperature according to the different fabrics.
• Start with the garments that require a low ironing
temperature and continue with the garments
requiring higher ironing temperatures.
• If you are not sure about the composition of
the fabric, try ironing a hidden part such as a
seam, hem or internal section. Start with low
temperature and gradually increase it until you
find the ideal ironing setting.
• When you reduce the steam generator’s
temperature to iron delicate garments, wait
approximately 2 minutes to let the steam
generator reach the new settings.
• Pure wool (100% wool) garments can be steam-
ironed as long as the temperature is set to wool.
We recommend using a cotton cloth to prevent
any shiny marks on the garment.
• Never iron areas with obvious perspiration
marks because the heat will make the stains fast
and permanent.
DISPOSAL OF OLD
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Wa-
ste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electri-
cal appliances must not be disposed of in
the normal unsorted municipal waste stre-
am.
Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the
impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose
of the appliance it must be separately collected. Con-
sumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.
