MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down
before maintenance and cleaning.
16 • 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.
IMPORTANT Do not use descaling agents, as these damage the
lining of the steam chamber and so may impair the steam function.
17 • Self Clean function
(prolongs the life of the 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.
