15 • Cleaning the iron

When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as required. Remove the dirt from the soleplate with a damp cloth or sponge.

IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean soleplate and other parts of the iron. If the appliance has been standing unused for long periods, use the Self Clean function (see § 14).
