Self-cleaning »
• The iron has a self-clean function to remove scale and impurities.

Self-clean should be applied more frequently.

- Set the temperature control dial (A) to MAX.

control needle (fig. 14). It is then possible to remove any scale from the
needle. For this purpose you may use vinegar.
