To ensure your iron maintains optimum

performance it is recommended that it

be cleaned using the Self-Clean function

to remove scale or impurities.
• Set the steam selector to the

MIN position.

• Fill the water tank up to the

maximum level (MAX) with the

water cup supplied.

• Set the Temperature Control to MAX

(linen) setting.

• Place the iron in the upright position,

insert the plug into the power outlet

and switch the iron on.

• Allow the iron to heat until the Heating

Indicator Light turns off.

• Switch the iron off at the power outlet

and remove the plug.

• Hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
• Press and hold the SELF CLEAN button.
• Water will drip through the holes in the

soleplate. Move iron until all water has

dripped out of the water tank.

NOTE:

Once you have used the

Self-Clean function, it is normal

for some water to remain in the

water tank. This is due to the

Anti-Drip System preventing

the tank from being emptied

completely. This will not affect the

performance of the iron.

Repeat the Self Clean process if the iron

still contains a lot of impurities.
