4 Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean the appliance before using it for the first time, immediately after
each use and after not using it for a long period of time.
Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning it.
1 Clean the outside of the iron with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
products.
2 Use clay-based, environmentally friendly products to clean the soleplate.
Do not use sharp objects.
Self-cleaning
It is advisable to carry out the self-cleaning operation about once a
month, depending on the frequency of use and the hardness of the water
used.
1 Ensure that the tank is half filled with water.
2 Place the iron in the vertical position.
3 Plug in the iron and turn the temperature selector (9) to the MAX
position.
4 Wait for the pilot light to go off (12) indicating that the desired
temperature has been reached.
5 Turn the temperature selector (9) to the MIN position and unplug the iron
from the mains.
6 Place the iron in the horizontal position over a sink or an appropriate
container and press the self-clean button (11), keeping the iron in this
position and swinging it gently from side to side. Steam and water will
come out from the holes in the iron, flushing out dirt and impurities.
Be careful when performing this operation, as the water and steam are
very hot and can cause burns.
7 Place the iron in the vertical position and wait for it to cool completely.
8 Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth.
Remember that damage caused by the effects of limescale is not
covered in the warranty.
