12. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the water reservoir Unplug the iron. To empty the water reservoir, open the water inlet cover (8) and hold the iron with the hole facing downwards until all the water has run out (Fig. I). Shake the iron gently to remove any drops left inside.

Storage

Leave the iron to cool down before storing it away. If you do not use the iron on a daily basis, it is a good idea to empty the water reservoir after each use to extend the useful life of the iron. Wind the cord around the support base (do not wind tightly) and store the iron away on its base.

13.INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL

AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or

to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources.

To remind you that you must collaborate with a selective collection scheme, the symbol shown appears on the product warning you not to dispose of it in traditional refuse containers.

For further information, contact your local authority or the shop where you bought the product.
