Iron tank cleaning
Occasionally clean the tank of the iron (N) by inserting fresh water (Fig. 20). Rinse and
empty (Fig. 21).
Warning!
Do not put vinegar, decalcifying agents or other fragrant substance inside the
tank; Otherwise, the warranty may be revoked.
Plastic parts cleaning
Clean plastic parts with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry them with a dry cloth.
Emptying the boiler and cleaning it internally
Warning!
If an ironing operation has only recently finished, switch off the appliance,
disconnect the power cable from the mains. Wait at least two hours, until the
appliance is cold and the internal pressure is depleted, before unscrewing the cap
(W).
Warning!
Do not put vinegar, decalcifying agents or other fragrant substances inside the
boiler; Otherwise, the warranty may be revoked.
Empty the tank (B) completely before emptying the tank.
Do not unscrew the boiler cap (W) with the appliance in its working position, as this
may cause the water in the boiler to escape unexpectedly (Fig. 16).
Place the appliance so as to obtain the tank cleaning cap (W) on the top (Fig. 17). Open
the door (X). With a flathead screwdriver, unscrew the tank cleaning cap (W). Overturn the
appliance on a sink and completely drain the tank (Fig. 18).
Place one measuring cup of tap water in the boiler (Fig. 19). Shake the appliance well,
then empty it again of all the water. Repeat this operation until the water coming out of
the boiler is clean and clear.
After cleaning the boiler, pour approx. 400 cc of water into the boiler (Fig. 19) and refit the
cap (W) tightening it slightly, without forcing it excessively. Close the door (X).
Clean the boiler at least every two months so as to eliminate any residue of lime
that could jeopardize proper operation of the appliance.
THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED BY CLOGGING
