D After ironing
•
Unplug the iron and press the steam on/off
button (3) so that it catches in its lower
position (steam off).
•
To prolong the life of the iron, empty the
water tank.
•
Store the cool iron in a dry place always
standing on its heel rest.
E Maintenance and cleaning
To clean the sole plate, use steel wool.
Then wipe the sole plate clean with a cloth.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar nor
other chemicals. To clean the soft material
of handle and power shot and spray
buttons, use soapy water.
F Cleaning the anticalc valve
Your iron is provided with an anticalc valve
which is located at the lower end of the
steam on/off button (3). The anticalc valve
has to be decalcified regularly (e.g. when-
ever steam development is insufficient).
•
Before removing and cleaning the anticalc
valve, unplug the iron and empty the water
tank.
•
Press the steam button so that it is lifted.
Carefully pull out the steam button.
Do not touch the anticalc valve at its lower
end.
•
Immerse the anticalc valve in vinegar (not
vinegar essence) or lemon juice until the
lime becomes soft.
Using a non-metallic brush, remove re-
maining residues and make sure that parti-
cularly the openings at the bottom and
on the lower sides are clean. Rinse under
running water.
•
Then re-insert the steam button and push
it down as far as it will go.
•
Press it to check the steam on/off function.
Note: The iron must never be used without
the steam button.
G Decalcifying/anticalc system
When scale particles come out of the
steam vents or when the steam function
does not work well even after having
cleaned the anti-calc valve, you should
proceed as follows to clean the steam
chamber. For this, proceed as follows
(G 1-13):
•
Press the steam button (3) so that it
catches in its lower position.
•
Fill the tank, connect the iron to the mains,
select the «•••» temperature setting and
wait until the temperature pilot light goes
off.
•
Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink.
Press the steam button so that it is lifted.
Then carefully pull up the steam button
and turn it so that it rests in this position.
Caution: When the steam button is pulled
up, hot water and steam will come out
from the sole plate.
•
Wait for the sole plate to cool down, then
clean it as described above.
•
Re-insert the steam on/off button and
push it down as far as it will go. Press it so
that it catches in its lower position.
•
Refill the tank with water, heat up the iron
and press the power shot button 4 times
to rinse the iron before ironing.
Important: Only pull out the steam button
when you want to activate the anticalc
system. Never pull out the steam button
when ironing.
