Do not use any cleaning or descaling
products for cleaning the soleplate
11 • Cleaning the station
or the base-unit. Never hold the iron
or the base unit under the tap.
•
The iron soleplate:
your iron when it is cool with a damp
cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.
•
The base unit:
Clean the plastic parts of
the appliance occasionally with a soft
cloth.
12 • Easy descaling of your
steam station
Do not use any descaling substances
(vinegar,
industrial
products, etc.) when rinsing the scale
collector: they could damage it.
Before emptying your steam station,
it must always be left to cool for 2
hours to avoid any risks of scalding.
For models with scale collector.
• To extend the life of your steam station
and avoid scale on your ironing, your
steam station is equipped with a built-in
scale collector. This collector, located in
the boiler, automatically removes the
scale that forms inside.
Operation:
• n orange "Calc- way System" light
located -
fig. 15
on the control panel starts
flashing to tell you that the scale collector
needs rinsing.
• Once the steam station has cooled
completely, remove the scale collector
cover -
fig.
16.
IMPORT NT! This operation must not
be carried out unless the steam station
has been unplugged for at least two
hours and has cooled down comple-
tely. To carry out this operation, the
steam station must be close to a sink
as water may come out of the tank
when it is opened.
Clean the soleplate of
descaling
• Unscrew the scale collector and remove it
from the housing; it contains the scale
that has built up in the tank -
• To clean the collector properly, just rinse it
under running water to remove the scale
it contains -

• Put the collector back into its housing and

The next time you use your iron,
press the "Restart" button on the
control panel to turn off the orange
"Calc- way System" light.
In addition to this regular maintenance
procedure, we recommend that you rinse
the boiler completely once every 6 months,
or once every 25 times you use your steam
station.
• Make sure that the steam station has
been unplugged and allowed to cool for
at least 2 hours.
• Place the steam station on the edge of
your sink and the iron to one side, on its
heel.
• Remove the collector cover and unscrew
the scale collector -
• Hold your steam station at an angle and
use a jug to fill the boiler with 1/4 litre of
tap water.-

• Shake the base unit for a few seconds
then empty it completely into the sink.-

screw it on tightly to ensure it is
watertight but do not overtighten it -

• Put the scale collector cover back in
place.-

Models without scale collector
• To prolong the life of your steam station
and prevent the release of scale on to
your ironing, your steam station is fitted
with an orange "Boiler rinse" light that
flashes on the control panel when you
need to drain the appliance -
• If the orange "boiler rinse" warning light
flashes,
