MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance and cleaning.
12 • Anti-scale system
Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits.
This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron.
The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be
replaced.
13 • Cleaning the iron
When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as
required.
14 • Self Clean (prolongs the life of the iron)
IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean the soleplate and
other parts of the iron.
WARNING : Do not use descaling agents even if advertised for steam irons. They will permanently
damage your iron.
The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber. Fill
the water tank with untreated tap water up to the max mark and heat the iron to the
••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink horizontally. Push the self
clean button for 1 minute fig.14 : steam will now begin to build up. After a few
seconds water will emerge from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of
the steam chamber.
Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remaining water
has evaporated. Unplug from the mains and allow the iron to fully cool down.
When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.
TIP Use the Self Clean function approx. every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, clean the iron
weekly.
