CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Before cleaning the iron, make sure that it is
unplugged from the wall outlet and cooled down.
■ When cold and unplugged, the iron can be cleaned with
a damp cloth and wiped dry. Do not use household
cleaners or solvents.
■ If the iron has not been used for a long time (e.g.,
EN
several weeks) the steam channels should be cleaned,
and any deposits removed from the iron. To do this, hold
the iron horizontally before you start to use it and allow
it to produce steam for about 1 minute. Also, activate
the Burst of steam button several times.
Cleaning the Soleplate
The stainless steel soleplate has excellent non-stick
properties and can be simply wiped clean when cold.
■ During normal use, a sticky coating may build up on
the soleplate (starch, detergent buildup, burnt synthetic
fibers). This can be easily removed by using quality hot
iron soleplate cleaner available at most stores.
■ Do not use abrasive household cleaners or abrasive
cleaning pads.
■ The soleplate of your iron makes ironing easier. To
prevent scratching of the soleplate, do not iron over
sharp objects (zippers, etc.). Do not place the iron on
rough surfaces, e.g., metal iron support, which may
scratch the soleplate.
ADVICES FOR GOOD IRONING
■ We recommend using the lowest temperatures with
fabrics that have unusual finishes (sequins, embroidery,
flush, etc.).
■ If the fabric is a blend (e.g., 40% cotton 60% synthetics),
set a lower ironing temperature.
■ If you don't know the composition of the fabric,
determine the suitable temperature by testing on
a hidden corner of the garment. Start with a low
temperature and increase it gradually until it reaches the
ideal temperature.
■ Do not iron areas with traces of perspiration or other
marks: the heat of the plate fixes the stains on the fabric,
making them irremovable.
■ To avoid marking silk, wool, or synthetic garments, iron
them inside out.

■ To avoid marking velvet garments, iron in one direction
(following the fiber) and do not press down on the iron.
■ Many fabrics are easier to iron if they are not completely
dry. For example, silk should always be ironed damp.

Solution
DO NOT use 100% pure
distilled water, use tap water.
In very hard water areas
mix half tap water with half
distilled to reduce hardness;
or use inexpensive bottled
spring water.
Most softened water is alright,
but if you experience leaks or
spitting, change to untreated
tap water or inexpensive
bottled spring water. DO NOT
use 100% distilled water.

If the iron is not hot enough,
the anti-drip system will

iron's steam production.
Set thermostat to the

before activating the Steam
control switch.
Move the Steam control switch
from min to max several times
to clear blockage.
