Cleaning & maintenance
Cleaning
1. Switch off and unplug the appliance
before each cleaning process.
2. Wait until the iron cools down completely.
3. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the

soft, nonabrasive liquid cleaner as
necessary.

Lime removing feature (Self-Clean)
This minimizes lime particle accumulation in
the steam reservoir of the iron.
Use the self-clean feature once in every 2 to
3 weeks. If the water in your area is very
hard (if lime particles come down from the
base of the appliance), we recommend that
you use the self-clean function more
frequently.
x
Always unplug your iron.
x
Fill the water reservoir up to Max. level.
x
Do not add vinegar etc. and other lime
removing substances into the water
reservoir.
x
Push the steam adjustment knob forward
to the ironing without steam ironing
position. Make sure it is on minimum level
during the process.
x
Plug in the appliance to a grounded outlet
and set the temperature setting button to
maximum. Wait until the thermostat
warning light goes off. Set the temperature
setting button to minimum and unplug the
iron.
WARNING:
When you have
finished ironing, unplug the
appliance. Drain the water in the
reservoir. Drain the water in the
reservoir by opening the refill
cover and tilting the iron to the
front.
WARNING:
Never use gasoline,
solvent and abrasive cleaning
agents or a hard brush to clean
this appliance.
x
Keep the iron over the sink, push the lime
removing (self clean) button and shake the
iron back and forth until the water in the
water reservoir is empty.
x
During this process, the water in the tank
quickly comes down into the steam
generation reservoir and is released
through the base plate holes along with
the lime particles (if any).
x
Unplug the appliance and gently move it
on an old cloth. Keep ironing until the
water and lime stains left on the base are
removed. Wait until the iron cools down
before storing it.
Storage

If you do not intend to use the steam iron
for a long time, please store it responsibly.

Make sure that the iron is unplugged and
cooled down completely before storing it.

Empty the water reservoir.
