Maintenance And Cleaning - Oster GCSTAE6501 Manual De Instrucciones

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning the Iron, always make sure that it is disconnected from the electrical wall
socket and is completely cool.
SOLEPLATE
• Residue on the Soleplate can be wiped off with a cloth soaked in a solution of water and
vinegar.
• Do not use scouring pads, abrasives or chemical cleaning solvents as they may dam-
age the finish.
HOUSING
• The housing can be cleaned with a moist cloth and then wiped dry.
• Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be neces-
sary. If for any reason your Steam Iron should require repairs, do not try to fix it yourself.
Send it to an Oster Authorized Service Center.
TO USE THE SELF-CLEANING FEATURE:
1. Turn OFF as noted above. Move the Steam Select Switch back and forth from Off (Dry)
several times to remove debris and minerals from the Steam Valve. This keeps water
flowing into the steam chamber.
2. Fill the water reservoir with tap water to the MAX line.
3. Set the Temperature Control Dial to LINEN.
4. Plug the iron into a power outlet and allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes.
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to MIN and unplug the iron.
6. Hold the iron over a sink in a horizontal position.
Warning: Be careful not to touch the iron's hot surfaces.
7. Press the self-clean button and hold. Water will begin dripping from the steam vents.
To make sure that all of the water is removed from the tank, slowly iron side to side and
front to back for 30 seconds. When rocking the iron, dip the nose of the iron slightly below
the rear of the iron to make certain the water circulates completely. Release self-clean
button after one minute.
8. Turn the iron upside down and allow the remaining water to flow out of the fill hole.
9. Dry the soleplate with a towel.
