appliance to cool down before cleaning.

2. Wipe the housing, handle and iron body with a

damp cotton cloth.

3. If the soleplate is soiled with dirt or scale, clean

it with a damp cotton cloth.

4. If the cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to the

high temperature on the soleplate (20). Switch

off the steam and rub off any residue

immediately with a thickly folded, dry cotton

cloth.

5. Never use abrasive products or solvents. To

keep the soleplate (20) smooth, you should

avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never

rinsing the iron steam

chamber

Caution! risk of burns!

This procedure helps to remove scale particles

out of the steam chamber.

This cleaning procedure may be performed

occasionally (approximately once a year), when

after a long period of use with very hard water,

scale particles start to come out of the soleplate.

a) Ensure that the iron is cooled down.

b) Set the temperature selector (16) of the iron to

the “min” position.

c) Fill the tank with tap water.

d) Plug in the mains cable and set the main

power switch (13) to the “I” position.

e) Wait until the “steam ready” indicator lamp (9)

lights up.

f) If the steam station has steam regulator (11*),

set it to the maximum position .

g) Hold the iron over the sink or a container to

collect the water.

h) Press the steam release button (17) and gently

shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will

come out, carrying scale and or deposits that

might be there. This could take approximately

5 minutes.

i) Set the temperature selector (16) of the iron to

the “max” position, without pressing the steam

release button (17). The water in the steam

chamber will start evaporating. Wait until all the

water inside the chamber has been

evaporated.

j) To clean the soleplate, immediately rub off any

residue by running the hot iron over dry cotton

cloth.
