AFTER USE

11 • Emptying

Unplug the iron, pour away remaining

water and set steam control to . Open and close the steam control seve- ral times to prevent the valve hole into the steam chamber from scaling or blocking up.

12 • Storing

Allow the appliance to cool down

before storing the iron standing on its heel .

IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate.

Never store your iron placed down on the soleplate.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance and cleaning.

13 • Anti-scale system

Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be replaced.

14 • Self Clean function (prolongs the life of the iron)

IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean the soleplate and other parts of the iron.

WARNING : Do not use descaling agents even if advertised for steam irons. They will per- manently damage your iron.

The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber. Fill the water tank with untreated tap water up to the max mark and heat the iron to the ••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink horizontally. Push the self clean button for 1 minute: steam will now begin to build up. After a few seconds water will emerge from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.

Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remaining water has evaporated. Unplug from the mains and allow the iron to fully cool down. When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.

TIP Use the Self Clean function approx. every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, clean the iron weekly.
