Cleaning and Care
• Avoid ironing over zippers and studs, as these
can scratch the sole of the iron
them when ironing. Take steps to ensure the sole
i
of the iron
remains smooth.
• The composition of water and its minerals varies
very much from place to place. If the water in
your locality is very hard, we recommend the use
of commercially available distilled water in order
to ensure the optimal functional capability of
your steam iron (see chapter "Filling with water").
Do not use acids (for example, vinegar) or
decalcification products to clean your steam
iron.
• Clean the housing with a soft, dry cloth only.
• Do not use aggressive cleaning materials.
Warning: NEVER submerse the steam iron
in water or other fluids.
• Clean the metal parts with a soft cloth lightly moi-
stened with water. Dry all parts thoroughly.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning materials.
• Allow the appliance to dry completely before
taking it back into use.
