Emptying and storing
When you have finished ironing, unplug and
empty all water from your iron and set the steam
switch at the off position. When cool, store the
iron on its heel
(5)
on the charging base
(10)
with
the power cord
(11)
wrapped loosely around the
iron’s heel.
NOTE: Please see point 4 of ‘Exclusions’ on page 8.
Cleaning the soleplate
Do not use scouring powder or solution as this
could cause damage to the coating.
If any man-made fibres fuse to the soleplate (14),
set the iron at the MAX position and pass it over
a clean piece of cotton to draw the deposit off
the surface.
To clean the exterior
Allow the unit to cool and wipe over with a damp
cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry.
Removing limescale
Y
our iron has a built in self clean system
designed to keep the water valve, steam
chamber and steam vents clear of lint and
loose mineral deposits.
1Fill the iron with water to the MAX line.
2Set the steam switch
(7)
to the OFF position.
3Connect
the charging base
(10)
to a mains
supply outlet and rest the iron on its heel
(5)
on
the charging base.
4Set the temperature dial to the MAX setting and
wait for the temperature to be reached -
the
temperature indicator light (4) will illuminate red
until the required temperature is reached, then it
will turn green.
5Whilst the iron is still very hot, hold the iron
horizontally over a sink.
CAUTION: The soleplate
(14)
will still be hot, so
ensure the charging base
(10)
and plug are kept
away from it and the sink.
6Press and hold the self-clean button
(15)
.
WARNING: Steam and boiling hot water will
drain from the holes in the soleplate. Keep
hands and body away from the hot water. This
washes away the scale and minerals that have
built up inside the steam chamber.
7
Whilst still holding the self-clean button, gently
move the iron back and forth until the water tank
(17)
is empty.
8
When steam and hot water cease to be released
from the soleplate
(14)
, release the self-clean
button
(15)
.
9
When the process is complete, re-connect the
iron heel
(5)
to
the charging base
(10)
and allow
to heat up - this will dry the soleplate.
10 Disconnect the
charging base
(10)
from the
mains supply outlet.
11
With the iron resting on its heel
(5)
, allow it to
fully cool down.
12
Wipe the soleplate with a cold, damp cloth.
After this cleaning operation, empty out any
remaining water.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to descale the
soleplate with descaling products.
