Emptying and storing
When you have finished ironing, unplug your iron.
Ensure that the
variable steam control is set at the ‘0’
position, lift up the fill cap and empty any
remaining water out of the filling hole.

tightly around the iron after use. Make a loose loop with the flex and wrap it around the iron. The iron must be cool before winding the flex
and storing on its heel.
Maintenance
Jet cleaning
Your iron has a built in cleaning system designed to keep the water valve, steam chamber and steam vents clear of lint and loose mineral deposits. The ‘jet clean’ should be operated after each period of ironing.
To operate, ensure that there is little water in the tank, place the iron on its heel and turn the temperature control dial to the maximum setting. Wait for the temperature indicator light to go out, then unplug the iron and hold it about 6’’ (150mm) above the sink in the ironing position. Press the shot of steam button about 10 times in succession. After this cleaning operation, empty out any remaining water.
WARNING: Do not attempt to descale the soleplate with descaling products.
