Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your generator

base-unit.

• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.
Cleaning tip: For
easier, non-corrosive
cleaning of your iron’s
soleplate, use a damp
sponge on the
soleplate while it is
still warm.
Descaling your generator easily:
For longer generator life, and to avoid scale emissions, your generator
is equipped with a built-in anti-scale valve. This valve, located in the tank, auto-
matically removes the scale that forms inside.

• An orange “anti-scale” light located on the control panel starts blinking to tell you
that the anti-scale valve needs rinsing - fig.13

• Once the generator has cooled down completely, remove the anti-scale
valve cap - fig.16
• Unscrew the anti-scale valve and remove it from the housing; it contains the scale
that has built up in the tank - fig.17 and fig.18 .
• To clean the valve properly, just rinse it under running water to remove
the scale it contains - fig.19 .
• Put the valve back into its housing and screw it in completely to keep
it watertight - fig.20 .
• Put the cap back on.

Do not use any descaling
substances (vinegar,
industrial descaling
products, etc.) when
rinsing anti-scale valve :
they could damage it.
Before descaling and
cleaning your generator,
you must let it cool down
for at least 2 hours to
avoid any risk of burns.
“Auto off” System
• For your safety, the generator is equipped with an “auto off” system which
switches the generator to standby mode if it is not used for 8 minutes or if you
forget to turn it off.
• A red light blinks on the control panel to indicate that the appliance is in
standby mode - fig.15 .
• To reactivate the generator:
- Press the “Restart” button.
- Wait for the light on the “steam ready” button to stop blinking before your start
ironing again.
• If the steam trigger is not pressed for at least 8 minutes, the “auto off” system
will cut off your generator for your safety.
