CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT! Unplug the iron from mains power and allow it to cool down completely before
cleaning and storing.
•
Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth. Use a mild detergent if necessary.
•
Do not use alcohol, acetone, benzene, scourging cleaning agents etc., to clean the iron. Do not use
hard brushes or metallic objects.
•
Remove any deposits on the soleplate with a damp cloth. To avoid scratching the finishing, never use
a metallic pad to clean the soleplate, and never place the iron on a rough surface.
•
To remove synthetic residue from the soleplate, iron over an old cotton rag in high heat setting.
•
Always store the emptied iron horizontally on a stable surface with a cloth protecting the soleplate.
Self-clean function
The self-cleaning function should be used on a regular basis, depending on usage and the hardness of
water used.
WARNING: Never pour white vinegar or any liquid cleaners into the water tank!
•
Fill the water tank.
Refer to OPERATION: Filling the water tank.
•
Position the iron vertically on its stand on a suitable surface.

Hold the iron over a sink (away from your body), press and hold the self-clean button (3). Boiling
water and steam will now emit from the steam holes on the soleplate.
