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.
- In order to protect the clean soleplate,
you may occasionally apply a small
amount of paraffin to the warm plate,
wiping it off with a woollen cloth.
●
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
●
Do not put vinegar or other descalers
into the water reservoir.
●
After a long period of non-use, or once a
month, the soleplate should be cleaned as
follows:
- Fill half the water reservoir with water
and place it on its base stand.
- Leave the iron to heat on the highest
temperature setting until the indicator
lamp goes out.
- Unplug the appliance, activate the
steam function and shake the iron to
and fro horizontally over a sink.
- Hot water and steam will be emitted by
the holes in the soleplate. This will
result in the removal of dust particles
from the soleplate.
- Pour out any remaining water, let the
iron heat up again and pass the
soleplate over an old, clean cotton
cloth. The remaining water trapped in
the soleplate will evaporate, helping the
cleaning process.
