AFTER USE

13 • Emptying

Unplug the iron (fig.4), pour away remaining water (fig.17) and set

steam control to .

Open and close the steam control several times (fig.18) to prevent the valve hole into the steam chamber from scaling or blocking up.

14 • Storing

Allow the appliance to cool down before storing the iron standing on its heel (fig.19).

IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate. Never store your iron placed down on the soleplate (fig.20).

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance and cleaning.

15 • Anti-scale system

Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron.

The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be replaced.

16 • Self Clean function

(prolongs the life of the iron)

The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.

IMPORTANT Do not use descaling agents, as these damage the lining of the steam chamber and so may impair the steam function.

Fill the water tank with tap untreated water up to the max mark and heat the iron to the ••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink horizontally. Hold the steam control into the Self Clean position (fig.5) : steam will now begin to build up. After a few seconds water will emerge from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.
