Rinsing the iron steam
chamber
Caution! Risk of burns!
This procedure helps to remove scale particles out
of the steam chamber.
This cleaning procedure may be performed
occasionally (approximately once a year), when
after a long period of use with very hard water, scale
particles start to come out of the soleplate.
a) Ensure that the iron is cooled down.
b) Set the temperature selector (13) of the iron to the
“min” position.
c) Fill the tank with tap water.
d) Plug in the mains cable and set the main power
switch (11) to the “I” position.
e) Wait until the “steam ready” indicator lamp (8)
lights up.
f) Hold the iron over the sink or a container to collect
the water.
g) Press the steam release button (14) and gently
shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come
out, carrying scale and or deposits that might be
there. This could take approximately 5 minutes.
h) Set the temperature selector (13) of the iron to the
“max” position, without pressing the steam release
button (14). The water in the steam chamber will
start evaporating. Wait until all the water inside the
chamber has been evaporated.
i) To clean the soleplate, immediately rub off any
residue by running the hot iron over dry cotton
cloth.
