MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
Before cleaning, ensure that your steam gene-
rator is unplugged and that the soleplate and
the iron rest have cooled down.
Do not use detergent or descaling products for
cleaning the soleplate or the base unit.
Never hold the iron or the base unit under
the tap.

Cleaning the soleplate

• Regularly clean the soleplate with a non-me-
tallic sponge.

Cleaning the unit

• Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occa-
sionally with a soft dampened cloth.
Rinsing the boiler
(once a month)
• Be careful : To extend the life of your boiler
and to avoid the building up of scale, it is es-
sential that you rinse out the boiler at least
after every 10 uses (E) (approximately once a
month).
• Check that the generator is cold and unplug-
ged for more than 2 hours.
• Using a jug, fill the boiler 3/4 full with untrea-
ted tap water.
• Shake the base unit for a few moments and
then empty it completely over your sink (F).
• To obtain the best results, we advise you to
repeat this operation.
If your water is hard, increase the fre-
quency. In particular, do not use descaling
agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they
could damage it.
