Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
Cleaning the unit

• Regularly clean the soleplate with a non-metallic sponge.
• Be careful : To extend the life of your boiler and to avoid the
build-up of scale, it is essential that you rinse out the boiler at least
after every 10 uses (approximately once a month).
• Check that the generator is cold and unplugged for more than
2 hours.
• Slowly unscrew the boiler cap.
• Using a jug, fill the boiler 3/4 full with untreated tap
• Shake the base unit for a few moments and then empty it
completely into your sink
• To obtain the best results, we advise you to repeat this operation.

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 thermostat is faulty: the iron is
not hot enough.
