3 Cleaning and maintenance
3.1 Cleaning
WARNING:
A
• When you are finished with ironing, unplug the appliance. You can drain
the water in the reservoir by opening the refill lid (8) and tilting the iron
to the front.
• Do not use gasoline, solvent and abrasive cleaning agents or hard brush
to clean the appliance.
3.2 Anti-Calc system
A special filter inside the water tank softens the water and prevents scale build-up in the
soleplate. The filter is permanent and does not need replacing.
3.3 Self clean
C
The self-cleaning feature cleans inside the soleplate, removing impurities.
We recommend using it every 10-15 days.

• Before lifting the appliance unplug it and then let it cool completely.

packaging of the appliance protects it against physical damages.

damaged.
