Rinsing the iron steam
chamber
Caution! Risk of burns!
This procedure helps to remove scale
particles out of the steam chamber.
This cleaning procedure may be performed
occasionally (approximately once a year),
when after a long period of use with very
hard water, scale particles start to come out
of the soleplate.
a) Ensure that the iron is cooled down.
b) Set the temperature selector (10) of the
iron to the "min" position.
c) Fill the tank with tap water.
d) Plug in the mains cable and set the
main power button (7) to the "I" position
(illuminated in red).
e) Wait until the "steam ready" indicator lamp
(4) lights up.
f) If the steam station has steam control (5*),
set it to the maximum position
g) Hold the iron over the sink or a container
to collect the water.
h) Press the steam release button (11) and
gently shake the iron. Boiling water and
steam will come out, carrying scale and or
deposits that might be there. This could
take approximately 5 minutes.
i) Set the temperature selector (10) of
the iron to the "max" position, without
pressing the steam release button (11-
12*). The water in the steam chamber will
* model dependent
start evaporating. Wait until all the water
inside the chamber has been evaporated.
j) To clean the soleplate, immediately rub off
any residue by running the hot iron over
dry cotton cloth.
