is not sufficient to remove stubborn creases
or when ironing difficult or thick fabrics.
The steam jet function may also be used
with the iron held vertically, to restore the
surface of fabrics.
Using the Spray Nozzle
The laundry can be dampened by pressing
the spray button. This will help to smooth
out difficult areas. The spray nozzle may be
used at any temperature level during dry or
steam ironing.
General Care and Cleaning
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it
is disconnected from the power supply
and has cooled down completely.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
∙ If necessary, the unit may be wiped with
a dry fuzz-free cloth.
∙ Starch, fat and other deposits on the
soleplate may be removed with a
woollen cloth soaked in a vinegar-water
solution.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
∙ Do not put vinegar or other descalers
into the water reservoir.
Self-cleaning system
The self-cleaning system flushes out loose
mineral deposits and keeps the appliance
free of lime and dust particles. Self-
cleaning should be performed if the iron
has not been used for an extended period
of time, or otherwise every 10-15 days.
Proceed as follows:
14
∙ Fill the water reservoir up to the
maximum level mark with water.
∙ Place the iron on its base stand and
insert the plug into the wall socket.
∙ Set the temperature control to its
maximum.
∙ Wait until the red indicator light goes out.
∙ Remove the plug from the wall socket.
∙ Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
∙ With the self-cleaning button depressed,
swing the iron lightly to and fro until no
more steam or hot water is emitted.
∙ Pour out any remaining water from the
reservoir.
∙ Allow the sole plate to cool down before
cleaning it with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Storage
∙ Turn off the steam iron, remove the plug
from the wall socket and let the unit cool
down completely.
∙ Pour any remaining water out of the
reservoir through the water fill hole.
∙ To avoid damage to the soleplate, store
the steam iron in upright position on its
base stand.
