• Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely into your sink -
fig.20.
To obtain the best result, we recommend that this operation is done twice.

• Put the boiler rinse cap cover back in place.
• The next time you use the generator, hold down the “restart” button to turn
off the orange light -

Storing your generator
• Press the illuminated on/off switch and unplug the generator. Store the electrical cord in
its storage place -
fig.21.
• 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.
Warning: do not touch the soleplate
while still hot.
• Slot the extension cord outlet in the notch (depending on model). Take the end of the
cord support and press to return the flexible part into the 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.22.
• Leave the iron (and the iron rest) to cool down for 30 minutes.
• You can then put your steam generator away, carrying it by the handle -
fig.1.
A problem with your generator
PROBLEMS
CAUSES
SOLUTIONS
The generator does not come on and
the thermostat light and the on/off
switch are not illuminated.
The appliance is not switched on.
Check that your appliance is correctly
plugged in and press the illuminated
on/off switch.
Water runs out of the holes in the
soleplate.
Water has condensed in the pipes
because you are using steam for the first
time or you have not used it for some
time.
Press on the steam control button away
from your ironing board until the iron
produces steam.
The soleplate is not hot enough.
Decrease the steam output while ironing
at low temperature (steam output
control dial on the control panel). Wait for
the thermostat light to go out before
activating the steam control button.
Your thermostat is faulty: the iron is not
hot enough.
Contact an Approved Service Centre.
Water streaks appear on the linen.
Your ironing board is saturated with
water because it is not suitable for use
with a steam generator.
Check that your ironing board is suitable
(see page 5).
White streaks come through the holes in
the soleplate.
Your boiler has a build-up of scale
because it has not been rinsed out
regularly.
Rinse out the boiler.
Brown streaks come through the holes in
the soleplate and stain the linen.
You are using chemical descaling agents
or additives in the water for ironing.
Never add this type of product in the
water tank or in the boiler (see page 5 for
what water may be used). Contact an
Approved Service Centre.
Fabric fibres have accumulated in the
holes of the soleplate and are burning.
Clean the soleplate with a non-metallic
sponge.
Your linen is not rinsed sufficiently or you
have ironed a new garment before
washing it.
Ensure linen is rinsed thoroughly to remove
any soap deposits or chemicals on new
garments which may be sucked up by the
iron.
