Operation Manual

equipped with a built-in scale collector.
This collector, located in the tank,
automatically removes the scale that
forms inside.
Operation:
An orange “Calc-Away System” light
located - fig.11 on the control panel
starts flashing to tell you that the scale
collector needs rinsing.
IMPORTANT! This operation must not
be carried out unless the steam
generator has been unplugged for at
least two hours and has cooled down
completely. To carry out this
operation, the steam generator must
be close to a sink as water may come
out of the tank when it is opened.
Once the steam generator has cooled
completely, remove the scale collector by
giving a ¼ turn to the left
- fig.12.
Unscrew the scale collector valve and
remove it from the housing; it contains
the scale that has built up in the tank -
fig.13.
To clean the collector properly, just rinse
it under running water to remove the
scale it contains - fig.14.
Put the the collector back into its housing
and screw it in completely to keep it
watertight - fig.15.
Put the scale collector cover back on -
fig.16.
• In addition to this regular maintenance,
we recommend complete rinsing of the
tank every six months or after every 25
uses. To do this:
• Check that the steam generator is cold
and has been unplugged for more than
2 hours.
• Place the steam generator on the edge
of the sink and put the iron standing
upright alongside it.
• Remove the collector cover and
unscrew the scale collector.
• Hold your steam generator at an angle
and use a jug to fill the boiler with with
1/4 litre of tap water.
• Shake the case for a few seconds then
empty it completely into the sink.
• Fit the collector back in its housing and
screw it on tightly to ensure it is
watertight.
• Put the scale collector cover back in
place.
The next time you use your iron, press
the “Restart” button on the control
panel to turn off the orange “Calc-
Away System” light - fig.10.
Models without scale collector
To prolong the life of your steam
generator and prevent the release of
scale on to your ironing, your steam
generator is equipped with an orange
"Boiler rinse light" that flashes on the
control panel when you need to drain the
appliance - fig.17.
If the orange “boiler rinse” warning light
flashes, you can continue ironing
normally but remember to rinse the
boiler first the next time that you use it.
IMPORTANT! This operation must not
be carried out unless the steam
generator has been unplugged for at
least two hours and has cooled down
completely.
Place the steam generator on the edge of
your sink, with the iron placed to one
side, standing on its heel.
Unscrew anti-clockwise a quarter of a
turn the boiler rinse cap - fig.18.
Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler
rinse cap - fig.19.
Holding the steam generator in a tilted
position, and using a jug, fill the boiler
with ¼ litre of untreated tap water -
fig.20.
Shake the base unit for a few moments -
fig.21 and then empty it completely into
your sink - fig.22.
To obtain the best results, we
recommend that this operation is done
twice.
Screw back and tighten up the boiler
rinse cap with a coin - fig.23.
Put the boiler rinse cap cover back in
place - fig.24.
