10 • Re-filling the water tank
• When there is no more steam and
the”Water tank empty” light flashes -
fig. 15 : water tank is empty.
• Remove the water tank using the
handle (on the front of the steam
generator) -
fig. 16 and fill it - fig. 5 do
not fill above the Max. level.
• Push the water tank into position until it
"clicks" into place. Press the Restart
button on the control panel. The red
signal light will then come off.
• The steam generator and the iron are
ready for use when the steam indicator
light is on and the iron indicator goes
out.
11 • Storing the steam
generator
• Turn off and unplug the steam
generator. Place the iron on the iron
rest on the steam generator. Lock the
iron onto the base unit by pressing it
until you hear an audible “click”, so
your iron is secure (according to
model) -
fig. 1. Fold the steam cord in
two and place it in its housing. Wind up
the power cord and attach it with the
velcro.
• 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.
MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
12 • 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.
13 • Easy descaling of your
steam generator
For models with scale collector.
• To extend the life of your steam
generator and avoid scale on your
ironing, your steam generator is
equipped with a built-in scale collector.
This collector, located in the boiler,
automatically removes the scale that
forms inside.
Operation:
• An orange “Calc-Away System” light
located -
fig. 17 on the control panel
starts flashing to tell you that the scale
collector needs rinsing.
• Once the steam generator has cooled
completely, remove the scale collector
cover -
fig. 18.
• Unscrew the scale collector completely
and remove it from the base unit. It
contains the scale built up inside the
boiler –
fig. 19.
• To clean the collector properly, just
rinse it under running water to remove
the scale it contains -
fig. 20.
• Put the the collector back into its
housing and screw it in completely to
keep it watertight but do not
overtighten. -
fig. 21.
If this occurs, remove the excess water.
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.
Do not use any descaling substances
(vinegar, industrial descaling products,
etc.) when rinsing the scale collector:
they could damage it.
Before emptying your steam
generator, it must always be left to
cool for 2 hours to avoid any risks of
scalding.
IMPORTANT! This operation must
not be carried out unless the steam
generator has been unplugged for at
least two hours and has cooled down
completely.
To carry out this operation, the steam
generator must be close to a sink as
water may come out of the tank
when it is opened.
