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 (15) 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 switch (12) to the "I"
position (illuminated in red)
e) Wait until the "steam ready" indicator
lamp (9) lights up.
f) If the steam station has steam
regulator (10*), 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
(16) 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 (15) of
the iron to the "max" position, without
pressing the steam release button
(16). The water in the steam chamber
will 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.
