Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Avoid ironing over zippers, rivets on jeans, etc., as they will scratch the soleplate. Iron
around them instead. Keep the iron soleplate smooth.
2. Water and its minerals vary widely by geographic location. If you live in a hard water area,
to insure optimum performance of your iron, we strongly recommend the use of distilled
water which is readily available in retail stores.
3. Do not disassemble or repair your iron yourself.
USING THE SELF-CLEAN FUNCTION
1. It is important to apply “self-clean” function at the first time of using the iron then at least
once per month to remove scale etc.
2. Fill the water up to “MAX” line in water tank.
3. Insert the plug into the wall socket.
4. Set the Temperature Control knob to Max.
5. Allow the iron to heat up until the heating light goes out.
6. Remove the plug from the wall socket.
7. Keep the iron horizontally over the sink.
8. Turn the Steam control knob to self-clean position
Hold the gear on self clean position.
The boiling water and steam will come out from the vents in the soleplate. Impurities and
scale (if any) are washed away.
9. Move the iron forwards and backwards while this happens.
10. Release the steam control knob when all water is used up.
11. Stand the iron upright then insert the plug into the wall socket and heat up the iron.
12. Carefully dry soleplate by ironing over a towel or old cloth to ensure there is no remainder
of the water inside the steam chamber.
13. Do not use chemically descaled water.
14. Let iron cool completely before storing.
ANTI-DRIP FEATURE
The Anti-Drip function ensures that the iron will not drip water at low temperature after
steaming. Steaming will recommence as soon as the appropriate temperature has been
reached.
