STORAGE/CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
STORAGE:
• Always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet when not in use.
• Always store in a dry place away from children’s reach.
• Always drain the Removable Water Tank (9) before storing.
• Always let your ironing system cool completely before putting away.
• Do not allow the electrical cord and steam hose to touch hot surfaces.
• Wrap the cord loosely around the ironing system when storing.
CLEANING/MAINTENANCE:
• The cord must be unplugged from the wall outlet before starting to clean any part of the
appliance.
• Make sure that the Iron and Steam Generator are COLD before starting to clean. Allow at
least twelve (12) hours for the unit to cool after it has been used.
IRON:
• Clean the steam iron only when it is cold.
• Never immerse the steam iron in water or any other liquids.
• Do not use scouring pads, abrasives or harsh cleaners.
• Prepare a paste using mild scouring powder and a little water. Apply a small amount of the
paste to the soleplate with a damp cloth. Rub the soiled area and then wipe clean with a
clean damp cloth.
• If using soleplate cleaners, make sure that you follow label instructions.
• Use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild household detergent to wipe the outer shell
of the iron.
• Dry soleplate and iron shell thoroughly after cleaning.
STEAM GENERATOR/STEAM BASE TANK (7):
Thanks to the professional steam heating system , which ensures that the heating
element never comes into contact with water, the elements cannot be damaged with mineral
deposits.
Nevertheless, if tap water is used in the appliance, it should be rinsed out on a regular basis.
This will extend the life and trouble-free use of the appliance.
1. Unplug the power cord (12) from the wall outlet.
2. Allow the appliance to cool down completely, approximately 12 hours.
3. Take off the removable water tank (9).
4. Unscrew the steam pressure valve (5) using the special key (13) included.
5. Fill the steam boiler with about 3.3 oz (100 ml.) of water and rinse the appliance out
thoroughly.
6. Before replacing the steam pressure valve (5), pour into the boiler 8 oz (250 ml.) of water.
