General Care and Cleaning
●
Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
●
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
- If necessary, the unit may be wiped with
a dry fuzz-free cloth.
- Starch, fat and other deposits on the
soleplate may be removed with a woollen
cloth soaked in a vinegar-water solution.
●
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
●
Do not put vinegar or other descalers
into the water reservoir.
Self-cleaning system
The self-cleaning system flushes out loose
mineral deposits and keeps the appliance
free of lime and dust particles. Self-cleaning
should be performed if the iron has not been
used for an extended period of time, or
otherwise every 10-15 days. Proceed as
follows:
- Fill the water reservoir up to the
maximum level mark with water.
- Place the iron on its base stand and insert
the plug into the wall socket.
- Set the temperature control to its
maximum.
- Wait until the red indicator light goes
out.
- Remove the plug from the wall socket.
- Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
- Turn the steam control button to the self-
cleaning symbol, pushing it down at the
same time. Swing the iron lightly to and
fro until no more steam or hot water is
emitted.
- Pour out any remaining water from the
reservoir.
- Allow the sole plate to cool down before
cleaning it with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Storage
●
Turn off the steam iron, remove the plug
from the wall socket and let the unit cool
down completely.
- Pour any remaining water out of the
reservoir through the water fill hole.
●
To avoid damage to the soleplate, store
the steam iron in upright position on its
base stand.
