Cleaning And Maintenance; Cleaning The Soleplate - Rotel PROFESSIONAL plus U98.0 Bedienungsanleitung

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Caution!
Before you clean your iron, pull the power plug out of the socket and let the iron cool off.
Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Regularly check the power cord for damage before
using your iron. Should you detect any damage, take it to your nearest customer service and let it be replaced
by a qualified specialist.

Cleaning the Soleplate

Deposits and other fabric residues can be removed from the soleplate using a cloth moistened in a water and
vinegar solution. Use a dry cloth to wipe the soleplate dry.
Do not use a scouring agent to clean the soleplate. Ensure that the soleplate remains smooth: avoid
contact with metal objects.
Cleaning the Iron
Clean the plastic parts with a wet, non-abrasive cloth, and dry it using a dry cloth.
Emptying and Cleaning the Boiler
Caution!
Turn off the appliance after ironing and pull the power plug out of the socket. Before you remove the safety cap
(1), completely discharge the steam (depress the steam button) and wait until the appliance has sufficiently
cooled off (approx. 2 hours) and the internal pressure is dispersed.
The following maintenance work must be carried out when water drips out of the steam holes, or at
least about every 3 months.
- Before you clean your iron, pull the plug out of the socket and make sure the iron has completely cooled
off.
- Completely empty the boiler over a sink.
- Fill the boiler with tap water. Close the safety cap and shake the appliance.
- Once again, empty all the water in the boiler.
- Repeat the process until the water running out is clear and clean.
Decalcifying
In addition, you can decalcify your appliance (in the case of water leakage) or flush it with water. Limescale
residues can be removed using a commercially available decalcifying agent. However, to best care for your
appliance and achieve optimum results, we recommend that our customers use the decalcifying agent Rotel
"Clac Clean". Fill the measuring cup at a ratio of 1:2 with 1/3 decalcifying agent and 2/3 water, and pour it into
the water filler hole. NEVER HEAT IT UP! Pour out the liquid after 1 to 2 hours. Rinse it out with tap water
several times.
