woollen cloth soaked in a vinegar-water solution.
✦
In order to protect the clean soleplate, you may occasionally apply a
small amount of paraffi n 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.
✦
Before the appliance is used for the fi rst time (or when it has not been
used for a long period), and thereafter every 10 to 15 days, the soleplate
should be cleaned in the following way:
✦
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 unit, open the steam control button to its full and swing
the iron horizontally over a sink. During this procedure, the steam jet
button should be repeatedly depressed.
✦
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.
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 fi ll
hole.
✦
To avoid damage to the soleplate, store the steam iron in upright position
on its base stand.
Disposal
Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage;
