self clean

55 To prevent scale building up, use the self clean function regularly, at least monthly in 

normal water areas, more often in hard water areas.

56 You’ll need a basin or a large bowl to catch the water coming out of the soleplate.
57 Fill the reservoir to the 

max

 mark.

58 Sit the iron on its heel.
59 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
60 Set the temperature to LINEN.
61 Wait till the display turns blue.
62 Hold the iron over the basin or bowl, with the soleplate down.
63 Press the self clean button, and hold it down.
64 Gently move the iron to and fro, over the basin or bowl.

caution

 keep clear of the escaping water and steam

65 The water and steam will wash scale out through the soleplate.
66 When the reservoir is empty, release the self clean button.
67 Unplug the iron, and sit it on its heel to cool.
68 When it’s cold, wipe off any moisture, and wind the cable round the heel.
69 Store the iron on its heel, to avoid corrosion and damage to the soleplate.

anti-scale

70 The anti-scale agent incorporated in the iron helps prevent the build-up of scale.
71 Don’t use a descaling solution, or you’ll destroy the anti-scale agent.

cleaning

72 Unplug the iron when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool 

down fully before cleaning and storing away.

73 Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid.
74 Remove spots from the soleplate with a little vinegar.
75 Take care not to scratch the soleplate.
76 Don’t put the iron in water or any other liquid.
77 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
