care and cleaning
Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior
of your iron because they will damage the surface.
Cleaning the soleplate of your Iron
After each use, allow your iron to completely cool down before wiping the soleplate with
a soft damp cloth. If polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth while
your iron is still hot. If necessary, allow your iron to completely cool down then wipe over
the soleplate with a soft cloth moistened with methylated spirits. Remove the methylated
spirit with a damp cloth. Make sure that the soleplate is completely dry.
Self-cleaning
Only press the self-clean button when you want to activate the self cleaning
system. Never press the self-clean button when ironing.
1. The self-clean function removes scale and impurities. Use the self-clean function
once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard, the self clean function
should be used more frequently.
2. Ensure the iron is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply socket.
3. Set the steam control to the no steam position ( ).
4.
Fill the iron with water to the MAX fill level.
5. Stand the iron on its heel rest, plug in and switch on at the mains supply.
6. Select the LINEN fabric setting using the temperature increase button.
7. The temperature indicator symbol (

9.
Press the ‘SELF CLEAN’ button. Hot water and steam will be ejected from the holes
in the soleplate, along with any impurities.
10.
Release the ‘SELF CLEAN’ button after one minute or when the water tank is empty.
11. Stand the iron on its heel rest, plug into the supply and switch on. When the
temperature indicator icon stops flashing, iron an old piece of cloth to allow any
remaining water to escape.
12. After use, switch off and unplug your iron at the mains supply and allow it to cool fully.
