Maintenance And Cleaning - Rowenta Steamforce DW 9240 Instructivo De Operación

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance and
cleaning.
12 • Anti-scale system
• Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits.
• This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron.
• The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be repla-
ced.
13 • Cleaning the iron
• When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as required.
14 • Self Clean
IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean the
soleplate and other parts of the iron.
WARNING : Do not use descaling agents even if advertised for steam irons. They will
permanently damage your iron.
TIP Use the Self Clean function approx. every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, clean
the iron weekly.
* depending on model
(prolongs the life of the iron)
• The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam
chamber. Fill the water tank with untreated tap water up to the max mark
and heat the iron to the ••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over
a sink horizontally. Push the self clean button for 1 minute: steam will
now begin to build up. After a few seconds water will emerge from the
soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.
• Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remai-
ning water has evaporated. Unplug from the power outlet and allow the
iron to fully cool down.
• When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.
