Cleaning the unit

Overtime lime scales residues can deposit in the boiler. The patented system of the steamer avoids the scaling of the boiler walls. Therefore the boiler only needs to be rinsed and not descaled with special products.

1

Open the security cap as in “Water filling” and use it as a screwdriver to loosen the drain cap. Pay attention that the water is not hot. Rinse with clear water until no lime scales come out from the boiler.

Iron

• Connect your iron only to a Sauber Brilliance steam generator with a voltage between 220V and 240V.

• The soleplate and generator iron-rest can become very hot and cause burns: never touch these parts.

• Take care that you do not come into contact with electrical cords with the hot iron soleplate. Ensure that the cord does not come into contact with sharp edges.

• The steam produced by the iron can reach very high temperatures which can cause burns. Do not direct the steam towards persons, animals or plants.

• Always put the iron with the sole plate down on the iron rest plate

(silicone side with the pins).

• Do not immerse the iron in water.

Security cap

• The security cap should not be opened when the unit is still under pressure. The red indicator in the cap moves to the top.

• You should never press the indicator down with an object and turn the cap at the same time.

• When there is no more pressure in the tank, the indicator falls down and the cap can be opened. In case of doubt, contact Sauber

Customer Service.
