It is recommended that you clean the iron once a month to slow down scale build up and prolong
the life of the iron.
Clean your iron as noted below:
• Unplug the iron, set the steam control lever to
and fill the water tank to
MAX
.
• Place the iron on its heel, set the temperature dial to
MAX
, plug in the iron and wait for the indicator light
to go out.
• Unplug the iron and place it horizontally over a sink.
• Press the
Self-Clean
ejection button (

• Gently shake the iron over the sink until all of the water (along with impurities) runs out through
the soleplate.
• At the end of the operation, put the anti-scale valve back into the iron and allow it to heat for 2 minutes
on its heel to dry the soleplate.
