Refilling intervals
How often you need to refill your anti-scale
cartridge depends on how often you use your iron
with its steam functions and how ‘hard’ your water
supply is. Water hardness varies greatly from one
area to another. For advice on the relative
hardness of your water, contact your local water
supplier.
If, on average you spend 2 hours per week
ironing, then we suggest you refill your anti-scale
cartridge as shown in the table below. If you iron
more or less frequently then you should alter the
interval between refills accordingly.

Jet Cleaning
Your iron has a built-in cleaning systems
designed to keep the water valve, steam chamber
and steam vents clear of lint and loose mineral
deposits. The ‘jet clean’ should be operated after
each period of ironing.
To operate, ensure that there is little water in
the tank, place the iron on its heel and set the
temperature to the MAX setting. Wait for the
heating up arrow to go out, then unplug the iron
and hold it about 6” (150mm) above the sink in
the ironing position. Press the shot of steam
button about 10 times in succession. After this
cleaning operation, empty out any remaining
water.
To clean the stainless steel
or anodised soleplate
(certain models only)
To keep the soleplate of your iron clean and
free of limescale, we recommend that you use
one of the gentle chrome, silver or stainless steel
cleaners that are generally available. Always
follow the manufacturers instructions. To clean off
melted man-made fibres set the iron at MAX
position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton
which will draw the deposit off the surface.

To clean a coated soleplate
(certain models only)
In the unlikely event of any man-made fibre
fusing to the soleplate, set the iron at the MAX
position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton
which will draw the deposit off the surface.
Do not use scouring powder or solution as this
could cause damage to the coating.
To clean the exterior
Allow the iron to cool and wipe over with a
damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe with a
dry cloth.

Emptying and Storing
When you have finished ironing, unplug your
iron. Ensure that the variable steam control
is set at the “0” position and empty any remaining
water out of the filling hole.
Do not store in the box, but in an upright
position, so that any drops of water remaining
cannot leak out and discolour the soleplate.
Important : The flex can be damaged if wound
too tightly around the iron after use. Make a loose
loop with the flex and wrap it around the iron. The
iron must be cool before winding the flex and
storing on its heel.
