8 • Vertical steam ironing
• Set the iron temperature control to the
maximum position (•••) and press the
Boost/vertical steam button.
• Hang the garment on a coat hanger and
hold the fabric slightly taut with one
hand. Press repeatedly on the steam
control button -
fig. 12 (beneath the iron
handle) moving the iron from top to
bottom -
fig. 14.
Examples of how to use the vertical
steaming function:
• Removing creases from delicate fabrics
hung on a coat hanger that you do not
want to bring into contact with the hot
iron.
• Refreshing a shirt or a suit just before
putting it on.
9 • Dry ironing
• Do not press on the steam control
button.
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 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 -
fig. 1. Fold the
steam cord in two and place it in its
housing. Wind up the power cord and
place it in its storage compartment.
• 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
• To extend the life of your steam
generator and avoid scale particles
appearing on your ironing, your steam
generator is equipped with a built-in
scale collector. This scale collector,
located in the boiler, automatically
removes the scale that forms inside.
If this occurs, remove the excess
water.
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.
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.
