CAUTION!
If the steam iron is used for a long period, it becomes very hot and no water is left in it. Do
not fill water until the steam iron is cooled.

Self Cleaning

Fill half of the water reservoir with water. Set the thermostat control button to the maximum
position. Plug in the appliance. Wait for the iron to warm up until the indicator light goes out.
Unplug the steam iron. Hold the iron in a horizontal position over the sink and set the steam
control to maximum. Boiling water and steam will emit from the holes in the soleplate, and
impurities and scale will be flushed out. Place the iron (preferably) on an old piece of cloth.
This way, the soleplate is allowed to dry during storage.

After finishing the ironing

Set the thermostat control button to the minimum position. Remove the plug from the outlet.
Lay the iron on the back side to the upright position.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before cleaning the steam iron, the plug must be unplugged and it must fully cooled. Do not
use corrosive cleaning agents.

Anti-Scaling System

A special resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water and prevents scaling
on the plate. There is no need to replace the resin filter.
NOTE!
Use only tap water. Filtered and demineralized water causes "Zero Scale" , anti-scaling
system shall fail when the physical and chemical properties of the water are changed. Do
not use chemical additives, odourous materials or descaling agents. Warranty shall be
void when the instructions provided above are not followed.

Anti-Dripping System

You may iron most delicate fabric perfectly with the anti-dripping system. Always iron these
fabrics at low temperatures. Plate may be cooled to a temperature that shall not allow steam,
but boiling water may drip and leave stains or marks. In this case, anti-dripping system shall
activate automatically to prevent vaporization so that you may iron without the risk or staining
or ruining the delicate fabrics.
