Self-cleaning function
We recommend carrying out self-
cleaning every two weeks. However,
the period between self-cleaning
should be shorter for harder water
types.
Carry out the self-cleaning function as
follows:
0
Unplug from the mains.
0
Set the steam switch (Figure 1/F) to
position “0” (Figure 4/A).
0
Fill the water reservoir (Figure 1/P) to
the “MAX” mark.
0
Set the temperature selector (Figure
1/O) to “MAX”.
0
Insert the plug into the socket.
0
Wait until the power indicator (Figure
1/J) goes out.
0
Pull out the mains plug.
0
Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
0
Set the steam switch (Figure 1/F) to the
“Self Clean” position (Figure 4/C) and
hold it firmly in place.
0
Steam and hot water will now run out
of the steam exit holes (Figure 1/C).
Move the iron gently to and fro above
the sink until the water reservoir is
empty.
0
Allow the iron to cool and wipe the
soleplate dry with a soft cloth.
Descaling
When using tap water for steaming,
lime is deposited in the steam cham-
ber; heavy deposits reduce the quan-
tity of steam produced. To descale use
lukewarm water and vinegar essence –
mixing ratio 1:1. Pour the mixture into
the cold appliance, ensuring first that
it is not connected to the mains.
Proprietory brands of descaler are
too aggressive and may not be used!
0
Place the appliance horizontally on an
iron rest or plate (Figure 5). Set the
steam switch (Figure 1/F) to position
“1” (Figure 4/B) and allow all the mix-
ture to flow through.
0
Afterwards repeat the procedure using
clear water and then heat the iron
briefly to allow the steam chambers to
dry. Your steam iron is now ready for
use again.
As a precaution we recommend descal-
ing every three months.
What to do, if ...
• no “Steam” appears when using on a
steam setting?
– In warm, dry air (during the winter)
a smaller jet of steam is normal
because it is taken up by the dry air
before condensing.
– Emptying the filled water reservoir
can wash out fluff. Remove the
mains cord and tip the filled appli-
ance forwards at an angle (Figure 7)
so that the water can run out of the
filling hole.
• drops of water come out of the steam
exit holes?
– Do not set the steam switch to posi-
tion “1” until the temperature for
steam ironing has been reached. If
the temperature has been set too
low for steam ironing increase the
setting.
