Lime removing feature (Self-Clean)
It minimizes the lime particles accumulated
in the steam reservoir of your iron.
Use the self-clean feature once in every 2 to
3 weeks. If the water in your region is very
hard (if lime particles fall down from the
soleplate of the appliance), we recommend
using the self-clean function more frequently.
1. Unplug your iron.
2. Fill the water tank up to the MAX mark.
3. Plug in the appliance to a grounded wall
socket and set the temperature setting
dial to MAX.
4. Unplug the iron when the thermostat
warning light
B
switches off.
5. Hold the iron over the sink and press self
clean button
D
. During this process, the
water in the water tank comes down into
the steam generation reservoir quickly
and is released through the soleplate
holes along with the lime particles (if any).
6. When the entire amount of water is
discharged from the tank, release the self
clean button
D
. If the iron still contains
impurities, repeat this process.
1. After the lime removal process is
completed; plug in the iron and make sure
that the iron soleplate is heated. When the
iron reaches the adjusted ironing
temperature, unplug the appliance and
gently iron on an old cloth. Keep ironing
until the water and lime stains left on the
soleplate are removed. Wait until the iron
cools down before storing it.
Caution
Do not add vinegar etc. and other lime
removing substances into the water tank.
