Cleaning
(do not use any detergent)
1. Always store iron on its heel rest.
Unplug the iron. To clean exterior
surfaces, use a damp soft cloth and
wipe dry. Do not use any chemical
solvents, as these will damage the
surface.
2. Auto clean function.
S
. Fill water to
MAX level. Plug the iron. Set the
temperature to max. When the light
goes out, unplug and hold the iron
over the sink, pull out the steam knob
(for EDB8040 set the steam knob to
auto-clean). Gently shake the iron until
all water is gone. Push (turn) back
steam knob.
3. Cleaning the soleplate.
Do not use
scouring pads or harsh cleaners on the
soleplate as these will damage the
surface. To remove burnt residue, iron
over a damp cloth while iron is still
hot. To clean the Glissium™ soleplate
(enamelled), simply wipe with soft
damp cloth and wipe dry.
