•SELF-CLEANING :

In order to extend the life of your iron, use the Self-Cleaning function once a month.

-Allow your iron to heat up with the tank full and standing on its heel (on program 8).

-When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal position, over a sink.

-Remove the anti-calc valve.

-Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank (with the impurities) has flowed out through the soleplate.

-At the end of the operation, push the anti-calc valve back into position.

-Turn the iron back on for 2 minutes, setting it on its heel, to dry the soleplate.

-Unplug the iron, and when the soleplate is just warm, wipe it with a soft cloth.

the self-cleaning function helps to slow down the scaling up of your iron.
