Care and Cleaning
To ensure your iron maintains optimum
performance it is recommended that
it be cleaned using the Self-Clean
function to remove scale or impurities.
•
Set the steam selector to the MIN
position.
•
Fill the water tank up to the
maximum level (MAX) with the
water cup supplied.
•
Set the Temperature Control to MAX
(linen) setting.
•
Place the iron in the upright position,
insert the plug into the power outlet
and switch the iron on.
•
Allow the iron to heat until the
Heating Indicator Light turns off.
•
Switch the iron off at the power
outlet and remove the plug.
•
Hold the iron horizontally over the
sink.
•
Press and hold the SELF CLEAN
button.
•
Water will drip through the holes
in the soleplate. Move iron until all
water has dripped out of the water
tank.
NOTE:
Once you have used the
Self-Clean function, it is normal
for some water to remain in the
water tank. This is due to the
Anti-Drip System preventing
the tank from being emptied
completely. This will not affect
the performance of the iron.
Repeat the Self Clean process if the
iron still contains a lot of impurities.
CAuTION:
Only push
and hold the self clean
button when you want
to activate the self
cleaning function. Do
not push and hold whilst
ironing.
Boiling water and
steam will drip from the
holes in the soleplate
during the cleaning
process. Due caution
and attention should be
exercised.
Cleaning the Soleplate
and Exterior
Ensure that the iron is disconnected
from the power outlet.
To remove residue which may have
built up from certain fabric finishes,
clean the soleplate with a rough cloth
that has been soaked in a vinegar
and water solution. Dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
To clean the steam holes, simply use
a damp cloth to wipe away build up
of lint or starch from inside the steam
holes.
Wipe the outer housing with a soft,
damp clean cloth and polish with a
dry cloth.
NOTE:
Never use abrasives or
scouring pads to clean the
soleplate. Avoid hard contact
with metal objects. Do not
scratch or damage the surface
of the soleplate.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners
as they may damage the surface of the
iron. Never immerse the iron in water or
any other liquid.
