Cleaning and Care
4. Auto-clean function.
The auto-clean function helps to slow
down scaling and build up in the iron. It is
recommended to perform the auto-clean
function every 4 weeks.
Cleaning (do not use any detergent)
1. Unplug the iron before cleaning.
Always place the iron on its heel rest and
allow cooling down. To clean exterior
surfaces, use a damp soft cloth and wipe
dry. Do not use any chemical solvents, as
these will damage the surface.
2. Cleaning the soleplate.
Do not use scouring pads or harsh
cleaners on the soleplate as these may
damage the surface. To remove burnt
residue, iron over a damp cloth while
the iron is still hot. To clean the soleplate,
simply wipe with a soft damp cloth and
wipe dry.
3. Permanent anti-scale cartridge
The permanent anti-scale cartridge
prevents scale from building up into the
soleplate and will help to extend the
life of the iron if the auto-clean function
is performed regularly. This system is
permanent and does not need to be
replaced.

the button (F). Gently shake over the sink
until all the water is gone. Insert the auto-
clean button (F) back and press until it

indicator light (J) turns green again,
unplug the iron, let it cool down on its
heel rest and wipe the soleplate with a
dry cloth.
