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.
●
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.

with a dry lint-free cloth.
Iron
- Starch, fat and other deposits on the sole
plate may be removed with a woollen
cloth soaked in a vinegar/water solution.
