Hot steam comes out of the iron. Do not remove wrinkles from a garment while some
one is wearing it. To prevent burns, do not direct the steam at people.

for 30 seconds resting on its soleplate or 8 minutes resting on its backplate. The auto-off
light will light up.

goes out.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
1 Unplug the iron and let it cool down.
2 Pour any remaining water out of the water tank from the water filling door.
3 Wipe flakes and any other deposit off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-
abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a
scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.
Calc clean function
IMPORTANT: This iron comes with a Built-in calc container, which collects loose scale
particles during ironing. The calc container is not meant for removal by the user. The
scale particles are flushed out of the iron during calc clean process. Perform calc clean
once every 1 month to maintain good steam performance and prolong the life of your
iron. If water in your area is hard, or you see scales coming out from the soleplate
during ironing, use calc clean more frequently.
1 Make sure the iron is unplugged and the steam slider is set to dry setting (Fig. 11).
