To clean a stainless steel
or anodised soleplate
(certain models only)
To keep the soleplate of your iron clean
and free of limescale, we recommend that
you use one of the gentle chrome, silver or
stainless steel cleaners that are generally
available. Always follow the manufacturers
instructions. To clean off melted man-made
fibres set the iron at 3 dot position and pass
it over a clean piece of cotton which will draw
the deposit off the surface.
To clean a coated soleplate
(certain models only)
In the unlikely event of any man-made
fibre fusing to the soleplate, set the iron at
the 3 dot position and pass it over a clean
piece of cotton which will draw the deposit
off the surface.
Do not use scouring powder or solution as
this could cause damage to the coating.
To clean the exterior
Allow the iron to cool and wipe over with a
damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe
with a dry cloth.
Emptying and storing
When you have
finished ironing,
unplug your iron.
Ensure that the
variable steam control
is set at the ‘0’
position, lift up the fill
cap and empty any
remaining water out
of the filling hole.
Do not store in the box, but in an upright
position, so that any drops of water
remaining cannot leak out and discolour the
soleplate.
Important: The flex can be
damaged if wound too tightly
around the iron after use.
Make a loose loop with the
flex and wrap it around the
iron. The iron must be cool
before winding the flex and
storing on its heel.
