MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Always unplug the iron from the power outlet before performing any kind of maintenance.
Cleaning
Clean the appliance regularly at intervals corresponding to the hardness of the water and how often
the appliance is used.
1.
Fill the water tank with water and turn the temperature knob to the MAX position.
2.
Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. The status lamp comes on. Set the steam
control to the dry ironing position and place the iron vertically (fig. 4).
IMPORTANT:
Never attempt to remove lime-scale from the water tank by filling it with vinegar or
another detergent.
3.
When the status lamp goes out, hold the iron over a sink or the like and press and hold the
SELFCLEAN button. Some force is needed to push the button. Steam and boiling water will
spray out from the soleplate and flush away impurities and lime-scale deposits.
4.
Release the button when all the water in the water tank has been consumed.
Descaling
The appliance includes a descaling unit which absorbs insoluble calcium ions and discharges soluble
sodium ions. This softens the water and slows the precipitation of lime.
Storage
1.
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
2.
Turn the steam control (4) to the " " position.
3.
Turn the temperature knob (10) to the lowest temperature.
4.
Allow the iron to cool completely.
