Self-Cleaning
Use the self-cleaning function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is
very hard (i.e. if flakes come out of the sole plate during ironing), the self-cleaning
function should be used more frequently. Make sure the appliance is unplugged,
set the steam selector to the “0” position, fill the water reservoir to the MAX
position(do not put vinegar or other dealing agents in the water reservoir), select the
maximum ironing temperature, put the plug in the wall socket, unplug the iron when
the power indicator lighter has gone out, hold the iron over the sink, press and hold
the self-cleaning button and gently shake the iron to and fro. Steam and boiling wa-
ter will come out of the sole plate. Any deposits and flakes will be flushed out too.
Release the self-cleaning button as soon as all the water in the reservoir has been
used up. Repeat the self-cleaning process if the iron still contains a lot of deposits.
After the self-cleaning process, put the plug in the wall socket and let the iron heat
up to allow the sole plate to dry. Unplug the iron when it has reached the set ironing
temperature and move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any
water stains that may have formed on the sole plate. Let the iron cool down before
you store it.
