Rinsing the boiler, once a month
Before cleaning, ensure your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and the iron have cooled
down.
• To extend the efficient operating life of your boiler and avoid scale particles on your linen, your generator is equip-
ped with an orange anticalc light that flashes on the control panel after about 10 uses.
If the orange anticalc light flashes, you can continue ironing normally but remember to rinse the boiler first the next
time that you use it.
• Before proceeding, check that the generator is cool and unplugged for more than 2 hours.
• Place the steam generator on the edge of your sink, with the iron placed to one side, standing on its heel.
• Gently unscrew the boiler rinse cap with a coin .
• Holding the steam generator in a tilted position, using a jug and a funnel*, fill the boiler with ¼ litre of untreated tap
water.
• Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely into your sink.
• To obtain the best results, we recommend that this operation is done twice.
• Screw back and tighten up the boiler rinse cap.
• The next time you use the generator hold down the “OK” button for a few seconds to turn off the orange
light.
Storing the steam generator
• Place the iron on the steam generator iron rest.
• Switch your steam generator off by pressing the «ON-OFF» button and unplug the appliance.
• Raise the retaining hoop over the iron until the protection system locks into place (audible click) – depending on
model.
• Leave the steam generator to cool before putting it away if you are storing it in a cupboard or a confined space.
• You can store your steam generator safely by carrying it by the iron handle – depending on model.
