Note:
• To extend the efficient operating life of your boiler and avoid scale particles on your linen, your generator
is equipped with an orange “boiler rinse” warning light that flashes on the control panel after about 10 uses.
• If your water is hard, increase the frequency.
• Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.
For greater effectiveness and for ease of operation,
you are advised to use the rinsing accessory
provided in the box.
It will make it easier to rinse the boiler as
the generator will need less handling.
Your rinsing accessory has been designed to work on a wide range of taps.
It is supplied with 2 types of membrane (a) (b). Choose the one best suited to your tap.
If you do not wish to, or cannot use the rinsing accessory, refer to the advice in paragraph II (below).
Before attempting to rinse the boiler of your generator, it is essential to leave it to cool for at least 2 hours
in order to avoid any risk of scalding. If the orange “boiler rinse” light flashes, you can continue ironing normally
but remember to rinse the boiler first, the next time that you use it.
1. Check that the generator is cold and unplugged.
2. The protective hood must be folded down over the tank.
3. Place your steam generator on the edge of your sink, with the iron to one side,
standing on its heel.
4. Unscrew the cord clip by turning a quarter turn to the left (18).
5. Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler rinse plug (19).
6. Place the plastic nozzle of the rinsing pipe into the hole of the boiler and turn
gently to the right until it locks. The outlet of this nozzle must be positioned over
the sink (20).
7. Connect the rubber end of the rinsing pipe to a cold tap (21).
8. Turn the tap on gently and gradually and let cold water run through
the rinsing pipe into the sink for about 1 minute (22).
9. Switch off the tap and remove the rinsing pipe.
10. Screw back and tighten up the boiler rinse plug with a coin.
11. Put the cord clip back in place.
12.
The next time you use the generator, hold down the “reset”
button for 2 to 3 seconds to turn off the orange light.

6. Holding your steam generator in a tilted position, and using a jug, fill the boiler (in the base unit)
with 1/4 litre of tap water.
7. Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely over your sink.
To obtain the best result, we recommend that this operation is done twice.
