2- DRY IRONING

- Choose your ironing program.
- Set the steam control to DRY (see diagram A).
- You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.

3- CARING FOR YOUR IRON

BE CAREFUL ! Unplug your iron and let it cool down before cleaning it.
• CLEANING THE ANTI-CALC VALVE
(Once per month) :
- Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.
- To remove the anti-calc valve, select program 8,
press the release button (P) and pull the valve upwards.
NEVER TOUCH THE END OF THE VALVE.
THE IRON WILL NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE ANTI-CALC VALVE.
• SELF-CLEANING :
In order to extend the life of your iron, use the Self-Cleaning function once a
month.
- Allow your iron to heat up with the tank full and standing on its heel (on program 8).
- When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal position,
over a sink.
- Remove the anti-calc valve.
- Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank (with
the impurities) has flowed out through the soleplate.
- At the end of the operation, push the anti-calc valve back into position.
- Turn the iron back on for 2 minutes, setting it on its heel, to dry the soleplate.
- Unplug the iron, and when the soleplate is just warm, wipe it with a soft cloth.
Recommendations :
the self-cleaning function helps to slow down the scaling up of your iron.
• CLEANING THE SOLEPLATE :
- While the soleplate is still just warm, clean it by rubbing it with a moist non-metallic
pad.

4- STORING YOUR IRON

- Unplug the iron and wait for the soleplate to cool down.
- Empty the water tank and set the steam control to DRY. A little water may remain in
the tank.
- Wind the cord not too tightly around the heel at the back of the iron.
- Store the iron on its heel.
- Soak the valve in a cup of white spirit vinegar or plain
lemon juice for 4 hours (Q).
- Rinse the valve under running water.
- Replace the anti-calc valve.
