Maintenance

Self- cleaning
Your iron will give the best ironing results and last
longer if you apply ' self-cleaning' regularly (once or
twice a month) to remove any scale or impurities.
• Set the steam selector knob to ' ' position.
• Fill the water tank up to ' MAX' water level with water
filling beaker supplied.
• Place the iron on its heel.
• Set the temperature dial to LINEN .
• Plug into the mains supply and switch on at the
socket.
• Allow the iron to heat up until the heating indicator
light first goes out.
• Remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
• Push and hold the steam selector knob to position
"SELF CLEAN" (Figure 12).
CAUTION!
Boiling water and steam will emit from the holes in the
soleplate. Impurities and scale(if any) will be flushed out
(Figure 13).
• Move the iron forwards and backwards while this happens.
NOTE!
Once you have done this, it is normal for a little water
to remain in the water tank because the irons anti-drip
system may prevent the tank being completely emptied.
This will not affect its ironing performance.
• Repeat the self-cleaning process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
