CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning of the sole plate
w
Do not use any abrasive substances and
materials to clean the sole plate.
Cleaning of internal parts of the
appliance
SI-4440 iron is equipped with an anti-scale function which
protects it from an accumulation of scale: it does this with a built-in
permanent filter and a special resin filter inside the water tank.
Therefore the water hardness is reduced and the useful service
life of the iron is extended.
Warning: In areas with very hard water it is recommended
that you regularly remove scale from the appliance to
maintain it in good working order. Excess lime scale
may result in damage or malfunction of your product.
If in your area the water is soft and you have average amounts
of clothes to be ironed then we recommend you to de-scale every
month. If the water in your area is very hard or if you iron fre-
quently, then we recommend you de-scale more often.
Your iron has a self-cleaning function , which allows you to
clean the internal parts of the appliance from scale or dust. To use
this function perform the following procedure:
1. Set the steam control knob
(9) into the «0» position.
2. Fill the tank (5) with water to the «Max» «Self-Clean» level.
3. Place the iron in a vertical position and plug it into the mains
supply outlet.
4. Set the temperature control knob (10) into the «Max» posi-
tion. The temperature indicator (12) will light up showing that
the iron is being heated to the desired temperature.
5. When the iron reaches the maximum temperature, the indica-
tor
(12)
will go out.
6. Disconnect the iron from the main supply outlet. Whilst holding
the appliance horizontally over a sink, press the self-clean
knob «Self-Clean»
(6) . Hot steam will discharge from the sole
plate (13) removing the scale and dust.
7. When the water tank
(5)
is completely empty, release the
«Self-Clean» knob (6) .
8. Put the appliance into a vertical position and re-heat the iron.
9. To complete the cleaning process; Iron a piece of a clean old
cotton cloth in order to clean the sole plate (13) of any re-
maining dust and scale and to evaporate the remaining water.
When you have finished ironing, always switch the appliance
off and disconnect from the electrical supply.
Storage

mains supply outlet and is completely cooled down. Set the tem-
perature control knob into the «Min» position and the steam con-
