Cleaning the Boiler
To extend the life of your steam generator and to avoid any build up of scale, it is essential that you rinse out the boiler after several hours of use
(approximately after 50 hours). if the water is hard, increase the frequency.
Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.
1. Check carefully that the appliance is cold and unplugged for more than 2 hours, and that the water tank (1) is empty.
2. place your appliance on the edge of your kitchen sink.
3. remove the plastic cover located on the bottom of the appliance by turning it to the position.
4. Unscrew the boiler drainage plug using a coin.
5. Holding your steam generator in upside down position, and using a jug, fill the boiler (in the base unit) with 1/4 litre of water.
6. Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely over a sink or bucket.
To obtain the best result, we recommend that this operation is done twice.
Important:
before re-closing, make sure no water remains in the boiler.
Caution! risk of burns!
This procedure helps to remove scale particles out of the steam chamber.
This cleaning procedure may be performed occasionally (approximately once a year), when after a long period of use with very hard water, scale particles start to come out of the soleplate.
1. Ensure that the iron is cooled down.
2. Set the temperature selector (11) of the iron to the “min” position.
3. Fill the tank with tap water.
4. plug in the mains cable and set the main power button (8) to the “i” position (illuminated in red*).
5. Wait until the “steam ready” indicator lamp (4) lights up.
6. if the steam station has steam control (5*), set it to the maximum position .
7. Hold the iron over the sink or a container to collect the water.
8. press the steam release button (12) and gently shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come out, carrying scale and or deposits that might be there. This could take approximately
5 minutes.
9. Set the temperature selector (11) of the iron to the “max” position, without pressing the steam release button (12-13*). The water in the steam chamber will start evaporating. Wait until all the water inside the chamber has been evaporated.
10. To clean the soleplate, immediately rub off any residue by running the hot iron over dry cotton cloth.

Tips to help you save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To help minimise the energy used, follow the advice below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the lowest ironing temperature.
• Check the recommended ironing temperature on the label on the garment.
• regulate the steam according to the selected ironing temperature, following the instructions in this manual.
• Try to iron the fabrics while they are still damp and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be generated from the fabrics rather than the iron. if you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing them, set the tumble drier on the ‘iron dry’ programme.
• if the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the steam regulator completely.
7
Storing the appliance
1. Set the main power button to the “0” position
(the red light will go off) and disconnect the mains cable.
2. always allow the appliance to cool down before storing it.
3. place the iron on the iron pad, standing on the soleplate.
4. Empty the water tank, store the mains cable on the cord storage facility and the steam hose in the storage fixing. Do not wrap the cords too tight.
