To ensure your iron maintains optimum
performance it is recommended that it
be cleaned using the Self-Clean function
to remove scale or impurities.
• Set the steam selector to the
MIN position.
• Fill the water tank up to the
maximum level (MAX) with the
water cup supplied.
• Set the Temperature Control to MAX
(linen) setting.
• Place the iron in the upright position,
insert the plug into the power outlet
and switch the iron on. The Power
Indicator light will illuminate.
• Allow the iron to heat and let stand
sitting upright for up to five minutes.
• Switch the iron off at the power outlet
and remove the plug.
• Hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
• Press and hold the SELF CLEAN button.
• Water will drip through the holes in the
soleplate. Move iron until all water has
dripped out of the water tank.
NOTE: Once you have used the
Self-Clean function, it is normal
for some water to remain in the
water tank. This is due to the
Anti-Drip System preventing
the tank from being emptied
completely. This will not affect the
performance of the iron.
Repeat the Self-Clean process if the iron
still contains a lot of impurities.
Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: Only push and
hold the Self-Clean button
when you want to activate
the self cleaning function.
Do not push and hold
whilst ironing.
Boiling water and steam
will drip from the holes in
the soleplate during the
cleaning process. Due
caution and attention
should be exercised.
Cleaning the Soleplate
and Exterior
Ensure that the iron is disconnected from
the power outlet.
To remove residue which may have built
up from certain fabric finishes, clean the
soleplate with a rough cloth that has
been soaked in a vinegar and water
solution. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
To clean the steam holes, simply
use a damp cloth to wipe away
build up of lint or starch from inside the
steam holes.
Wipe the outer housing with a soft, damp
clean cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Never use abrasives
or scouring pads to clean the
soleplate. Avoid hard contact
with metal objects. Do not
scratch or damage the surface of
the soleplate.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners
as they may damage the surface of the
iron. Never immerse the iron in water or
any other liquid.
