•Do not use any cleaning or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate or the base-unit.

•Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.

2.The Iron soleplate

You can clean the soleplate of your iron, once it has cooled down, with a damp cloth or sponge.

If the soleplate is badly soiled, we recommend one of the commercially available specialist cleaning products.

Do not use aggressive or abrasive products for cleaning the soleplate. Do not place the iron on a rough support.

During pauses in ironing, always place the iron on the rest plate provided on the steam generator.

3. The base unit: Clean the plastic parts occasionally with a soft cloth.
