• To extend the efficient operating life of your boiler and avoid scale particles on your
linen, your generator is equipped with an orange "boiler rinse" warning light that
flashes on the control panel after about 10 uses
• 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.
• Before proceeding, check that the generator is cool and unplugged for more
than 2 hours.
• 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
• Using a coin, gently unscrew the boiler rinse cap
• Holding the steam generator in a tilted position, and using a jug, fill the boiler with ¼
litre of untreated tap water
• Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it completely into your sink
fig. 13.
• 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.
• Put the boiler rinse cap cover back in place.
• The next time you use the generator hold down the "OK" button for a few seconds to turn off the
orange light - fig. 17.
Storing your generator
Caution! Above all, you
must not use descaling
products to rinse the boiler:
they may damage it.
Before cleaning or
emptying your generator, it
is imperative that you leave
it to cool for more than 2
hours, to prevent any risk
of burns.

your iron is safely locked onto its housing (depending on model).

CAUSES
The appliance is not
switched on.
Water has condensed in the
pipes because you are using
steam for the first time or you
have not used it for some time.
The soleplate is not hot
enough.
Your ironing board is saturated
with water because it is not
suitable for use with a steam
generator.
