3. Press the "restart" button on the control panel –

Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your generator
• Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate
base-unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic washing up pad.
• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.
Do not use any descaling
substances (vinegar,
industrial descaling
products, etc.) when rinsing
the anti-scale valve :
they could damage it.
Before descaling or
cleaning your generator,
you must let it cool down
for at least 2 hours to
avoid any risk of burns.

TURBO Function
• Press the Turbo control 2 or 3 times when you need extra steam:
- for ironing thicker fabrics,
- for getting rid of creases,
- for powerful vertical steaming.
Use the Turbo function with care as its exceptional steam power can cause burns.
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, automatically removes the scale that
forms inside.
Operation:
• An orange "anti-scale" light located on the control panel starts blinking to tell you that the
anti-scale valve needs rinsing -
Caution: this operation must not be performed until the generator has been unplug-
ged for at 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

• 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 water-
tight -
