AFTER USE

13 • Emptying
Unplug the iron (fig.4), pour away remaining water (fig.18) and set
steam control to
Open and close the steam control several times (fig.19) to prevent
the valve hole into the steam chamber from scaling or blocking up.
14 • Storing
Allow the appliance to cool down before storing the iron standing
on its heel (fig.20).
IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate.
Never store your iron placed down on the soleplate (fig.21).

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down
before maintenance and cleaning.
15 • 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.
16 • Self Clean function
(prolongs the life of the iron)
The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the
steam chamber.
IMPORTANT Do not use descaling agents, as these damage
the lining of the steam chamber and so may impair the steam
function.
Fill the water tank with tap untreated water up to the max mark and
heat the iron to the ••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it
over a sink horizontally. Hold the steam control into the Self Clean
position (fig.5) : 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.
