CARING FOR YOUR IRON 9

Self-cleaning (twice a month)

1. Fill the tank to the MAX mark (see our recommendations on the type of water to use).

2. Put the thermostat control (H) on MAX and the steam control (G) on and switch on.

3.Place the iron on its heel and wait around 5 minutes.

4.Unplug the iron and place over the sink horizontally. Push the lock (E) backwards to free the anti-calc valve, then remove it completely.

5.Shake the iron gently until most water (and any impurities) has drained from the soleplate.

N.B. Once you have done this, it is normal for a little water to remain in the water tank because the iron’s anti-drip system may prevent the tank being completely emptied.This will not effect its ironing performance.

6. Replace the anti-calc valve (E).

!Note!

Your iron will only operate when the anti-calc valve is in place.

7.When the soleplate is just warm, wipe the iron with a soft cloth.

8.To keep the anti-calc valve working, once a month leave it to soak in white vinegar or pure lemon juice for around 2 hours. Rinse the stem with water before inserting back in the iron.

CLEANING THE SOLEPLATE 10

!Important

Unplug your iron and let it cool down before cleaning.

When the soleplate is cool, clean with a soft damp cloth or non-metallic washing up pad. Do not use detergent or descaling products. Never put the iron under the tap.

We recommend that when using starch, it should be sprayed onto the reverse side of the fabric and the soleplate cleaned more frequently.Try to avoid ironing over zips which may have rough edges.

PUTTING YOUR IRON AWAY 11

2.Unplug the iron.
