Maintenance
• It is important to apply "self-cleaning" at least every two weeks to
remove scale etc.
• The harder the water the more the iron should be self-cleaned.
- Set the steam control (B) to position O.
- Stand the iron on its end.
- Open the filling funnel and fill the water reservoir up to the MAX
indication.
- Close the filling funnel.
- Set the temperature control (A) to MAX.
- Insert the mains plug into the wall socket.
- Allow the iron to heat up until the amber temperature pilot light (H) first
goes out and then comes on again.
- Remove the plug from the wall socket.
- Hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
- Press button "Self clean" (I) (fig. 13).
Boiling water and steam will now be ejected from the holes in the
soleplate.
Impurities and scale (if any) are washed away with it.
- Move the iron forwards and backwards while this happens.
- Release button "Self clean" after one minute or when the water
reservoir has become empty.
- Stand the iron on its end.
- Insert the mains plug into the wall socket and let the iron heat up
again.
- Move the iron over a (preferably) old piece of cloth.
This is to ensure that the soleplate will be dry during storage.
Cleaning
- Before cleaning remove the mains plug from the wall socket and allow
the iron to cool down sufficiently.
- Scale and other setting can be wiped off the soleplate with a damp
cloth and some non-scratching (fluid) abrasive.
Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid hard contact with metal objects.
- The upper part of the appliance can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
- From time to time clean the inside of the water reservoir by filling with
water and shaking. Then pour the water back out.
