Cleaning
Self-cleaning function
• Fill the water container up to the marking MAX.
• Insert the plug into the power socket.
• Set the temperature regulator
a to the position
MAX.
• Let the iron warm up till the control light w cuts
off and lights up again.
• Hold the iron horizontally over a trap vessel.
• Set the steam regulator
u to Self-Clean position
and hold it in this position. Now steam and boiling
water will start emerging from the steam escape
holes at the gilding sole
r . Any dirt, if present,
will get washed out.
• Release the steam regulator u as soon as the
water in the water container is used up.
• To ensure that no water remains in the steam
chamber, dry the gilding sole r thoroughly. For
this purpose, wipe the gilding sole r a few
times on a towel or an old cloth.
• Allow the iron to cool down before storing it
away.
Note:
The effect of the self-cleaning function can diminish
after extended usage of the iron. We therefore re-
commend the addition of decalcification agent into
the water tank.
Casing
Danger of injury!
Pull the mains power plug before cleaning. There is
a risk of electrical shock! Allow the device to cool
off. Danger of burning!
• Clean the casing only with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not use aggressive or chemical cleaning
agents.
Metal Parts
• Clean the metal parts with a cloth slightly
moistened with water and a mild, non-foaming
cleaning agent.

The water reservoir in the steam iron is empty. Fill
the water reservoir with tap water (see "Filling with
Tap Water“).

The steam iron is not plugged in or not switched on.
Plug the power plug into the power socket and set
the temperature control
a to the desired
