10 • Cleaning the generator
The Iron soleplate: clean the soleplate of
your iron when it is cool with a damp
cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.
The base unit: Clean the plastic parts of
the appliance occasionally with a soft
cloth.
Do not use any cleaning or descaling
products for cleaning the soleplate or
the base-unit. Never hold the iron or
the base unit under the tap.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING ________________________
6 • Vertical steam ironing
Set the temperature of the iron to the
max position.
Hang the garment on a coat hanger and
hold the fabric slightly taut with one
hand. Press repeatedly on the steam
- fig.7 control button (beneath the iron
handle) moving the iron from top to
bottom - fig.8.
Examples of how to use the vertical
steaming function:
• Removing creases directly on hangers
from delicate fabrics that you do not
want to bring into contact with the hot
iron
• Refreshing a shirt or a suit just before
putting it on.
7 • Dry ironing
Do not press on the steam control
button.
8 • Fill the water tank again
When there is no more steam and
the”Water tank empty” light flashes -
fig.9 : water tank is empty.
Unplug the steam generator. Take the
water jug and fill it with a maximum of a
litre of water and pour the water into the
water tank being careful not to exceed
the Max level - fig.1.
Plug in the steam generator - fig.3. Press
the “Restart” button underneath the
control panel - fig.10.
The steam generator and the iron are
ready for use when the steam indicator
light is on - fig.6 and the iron
temperature control light goes out.
9 • Storing the steam generator
Unplug the steam generator. Place the
iron on the iron rest on the steam
generator. Fold the steam cord in two
and place it in its housing - fig.25.
Wind up the power cord and attach it
with the velcro - fig.26.
Leave the steam generator to cool for at
least one hour before putting it away if it
is to be stored in a cupboard or confined
space. You can then store your steam
generator safely.
Do not place the iron on a metal
support. When taking a break from
ironing, always place the iron on the
iron rest plate of the unit. It is
equipped with non-slip pads and has
been designed to withstand high
temperatures.
As steam is very hot: never attempt to
remove creases from a garment while
it is being worn, always hang
garments on a coat hanger. For fabrics
other than linen or cotton, hold the
iron a few centimetres from the
garment to avoid burning the fabric.
If this occurs, remove the excess
water.
