To ensure your iron maintains optimum
performance it is recommended that it
be cleaned using the Self-Clean function
to remove scale or impurities.
• Set the steam selector to the
MIN position.
• Fill the water tank up to the
maximum level (MAX) with the
water cup supplied.
• Set the Temperature Control to MAX
(linen) setting.
• Place the iron in the upright position,
insert the plug into the power outlet
and switch the iron on. The Power
Indicator light will illuminate.
• Allow the iron to heat and let stand
sitting upright for up to five minutes.
• Switch the iron off at the power outlet
and remove the plug.
• Hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
• Press and hold the SELF CLEAN button.
• Water will drip through the holes in the
soleplate. Move iron until all water has
dripped out of the water tank.
NOTE: Once you have used the
Self-Clean funct ion, it is norm al
for some water to remain in th e
water tank. This is due to t he
Anti-Drip System preventing
the tank from being empt ied
completely. This will not a ffect the
performance of the iro n.
Repeat the Self-Clean process if the iron
still contains a lot of impurities.
