Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior
of your iron because they will damage the surface.
Cleaning the Soleplate on your Iron
After each use, ensure the iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply
socket. Allow the iron to cool fully before wiping the soleplate with a damp soft cloth. If
polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth while hot. If necessary,
allow unit to cool fully and wipe over the soleplate with a soft cloth and a small amount of
methylated spirits. Remove the methylated spirit with a damp cloth. Ensure soleplate is
dried thoroughly.
Only press the self-clean button when you want to activate the self cleaning
system. Never press the self-clean button when ironing.
Self-cleaning
The self-clean function removes scale and impurities. Use the self-clean function
once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard, the self clean function
should be used more frequently.
Ensure the iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply socket.
Set the steam control to the no steam position (
).
Using the measuring cup, fill the iron with water to the MAX fill level.
Stand the iron on its heel rest, plug in and switch on at the mains supply.
Select the LINEN fabric setting using the temperature increase button.
When your iron beeps once and the temperature indicator icon stops flashing your
iron is ready to use.
Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink with the sole-plate facing downwards.
Press the ‘SELF CLEAN’ button. Hot water and steam will be ejected from the holes
in the soleplate, along with any impurities.
Release the ‘SELF CLEAN’ button after one minute or when the water tank is empty.
Stand the iron on its heel rest, plug into the supply and switch on. When the
temperature indicator icon stops flashing, iron an old piece of cloth to allow any
remaining water to escape.
After use, switch off and unplug the iron at the mains supply and allow to cool fully.
