greased at the factory and may
produce a little smoke when initially
heated.

after a short while.
• Clean the soleplate according to the
cleaning instructions in this manual.
Water flows through
the holes on the sole
plate.

Cleaning the Boiler
To extend the life of your steam generator and to To
extend the life of your steam generator and to avoid
any build up of scale, it is essential that you rinse out
the boiler after several hours of use (approximately after
50 hours). If the water is hard, increase the frequency.
Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler,
as they could damage it.
1. Check that the appliance is cold and unplugged for
more than 2 hours, and that the water tank (1) is
empty.
2. Place your appliance on the edge of your kitchen
sink.
3. Remove the plastic cover located on the bottom of
the appliance by turning it to the position.
4. Unscrew the boiler drainage plug using a coin.
5. Holding your steam generator in upside down
position, and using a jug, fill the boiler (in the base
unit) with 1/4 litre of water
6. Shake the base unit for a few moments and then
empty it completely over a sink or bucket. To obtain
the best result, we recommend that this operation is
done twice.
Important: before re-closing, make sure no water
remains in the boiler.
7. Replace and tighten up the boiler drainage plug with
a coin.
8. Insert and close the plastic cover by turning it to the
position.
Rinsing the iron steam chamber (G)
Caution! Risk of burns!
This procedure helps to remove scale particles out of
the steam chamber.
Carry it out approximately every 2 weeks, if the water
in your area is very hard.
a) Ensure that the iron is cooled down.
b) Set the temperature selector (14) of the iron to the
“min” position.
c) Fill the tank with tap water.
d) Plug in the mains cable and set the main power
switch (12) to the “I” position.
e) Wait until the “steam ready” indicator lamp (9) lights
up.
f) If the steam station has steam regulator (10), set it to
the maximum position .
g) Hold the iron over the sink or a container to collect
the water.
h) Press the steam release button (15) and gently
shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come
out, carrying scale and or deposits that might be
there. This could take approximately 5 minutes.
i) Set the temperature selector (14) of the iron to the
“max” position, without pressing the steam release
button (15). The water in the steam chamber will
start evaporating. Wait until all the water inside the
chamber has been evaporated.
j) To clean the soleplate, immediately rub off any
residue by running the hot iron over dry cotton
cloth.
