Fill the iron with cold tap water and set variable steam to min.
Set thermostat dial to maximum position.
Stand on heel and plug in.
When the iron reaches the correct temperature, indicator light will go out, unplug iron.
Hold iron horizontally over the sink with soleplate pointing away from body.
Press and hold down the self clean button for about 1 minute.
WARNING: Doing this will cause steam and hot water to be ejected from the soleplate. Take all proper precautions and hold iron away from body.
Move the iron gently back and forth and side to side until all water has run through.
Carefully wipe all water and material from the soleplate with an old folded towel, as the water and minerals can stain the soleplate (although this has no effect on glide or performance).
WARNING: Iron and soleplate may still be hot, exercise care while wiping.
Place iron on heel and leave to cool.
IMPORTANT: before using the iron after self cleaning, test steam and burst of steam on an old towel or cloth to ensure all loose material has been removed from the iron.
