• SELF-CLEANING :
In order to extend the life of your iron, use the Self-Cleaning function once a
month.
- Fill the tank of your iron with untreated tap water. Stand the iron on it’s heel with the
thermostat set to max and heat it up.
- When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal position,
over a sink.
- Remove the anti-calc valve.
- Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank (with the
impurities) has flowed out through the soleplate.
- At the end of the operation, push the anti-calc valve back into position.
- Unplug the iron, and when the soleplate is just warm, wipe it with a soft cloth.
Recommendations :
the self-cleaning function helps to slow down the scaling up of your iron.
2- DRY IRONING
- Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.
- Set the steam control to DRY (see diagram A).
- You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.
