AFTER USE
11 • Emptying
Unplug the iron, pour away remaining
water and set steam control to .
Open and close the steam control seve-
ral times to prevent the valve hole into
the steam chamber from scaling or
blocking up.
12 • Storing
Allow the appliance to cool down
before storing the iron standing on its heel .
IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate. Never
store your iron placed down on the soleplate.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance and cleaning.
13 • Anti-scale system
Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This considerably prolongs
the operational life of your iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank
and does not need to be replaced.
14 • Anti Calc function
(prolongs the life of the iron)
The Anti Calc function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.
IMPORTANT Do not use descaling agents, as these damage the lining of the steam cham-
ber and so may impair the steam function.
Fill the water tank with untreated tap water up to the max mark and heat
the iron to the ••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink hori-
zontally. Hold the steam control into the Anti Calc position : steam will
now begin to build up. After a few seconds water will emerge from the so-
leplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.
Move the steam control to position after approx. 1 minute.
Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remai-
ning water has evaporated. Unplug from the power outlet and allow the
iron to fully cool down.
When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.
TIP Use the Anti Calc function approx. every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, clean the
iron weekly.
15 • Cleaning the iron
When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as required.
Remove the dirt from the soleplate with a damp cloth or sponge.
IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean soleplate
and other parts of the iron. If the appliance has been standing unused for long periods, use
the Anti Calc function (see § 14).
