aution: this operation must not be performed until the generator has been unplugged for

t least two hours and has completely cooled down. When performing this operation, the

generator should be placed near a sink as water may flow out of the tank when it is

opened.

• Once the generator has cooled down completely, remove the anti-scale valve cap - fig.18

• Unscrew the anti-scale valve and remove it from the housing; it contains the scale that has built

p in the tank - fig.19 and fig.20.

• To clean the valve properly, just rinse it under running water to remove the scale it contains -

fig.21.

• Put the valve back into its housing and screw it in completely to keep it watertight - fig.22.

• Put the cap back on.

The next time you use your iron, press the “reset” button on the control panel to turn off the

orange “anti-scale” light - fig.13

“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.16.

• To reactivate the generator:

- Press the "Restart" button or push the steam control trigger.

- 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.

Storing your generator

• Place the iron on the iron rest of the generator.

• Press the illuminated on/off switch and unplug the generator.

• Raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place (audible click) – fig.2. Your iron is

then safely retained on its base.

• Store the steam cord in its slide storage place. Take it, fold it in two so as to make a loop. Put the

end of this loop in the slide storage place then push gently until you see the end on the other

side of the slide storage place – fig.26.

• Fold the Ultracord system back on the heel - fig.8.

• Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 1 hour.

• You can then put your steam generator away, carrying it by the handle of the iron.

Environment protection first !
