Cleaning & Maintenance
E
Attention! Risk of burns!
Always unplug the appliance from the
mains supply before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance operation on it.
1. After ironing, pull out the plug and allow the
appliance to cool down before cleaning.
2. Wipe the housing, handle and iron body with a
damp cotton cloth.
3. If the soleplate is soiled with dirt or scale, clean
it with a damp cotton cloth.
4. If the cloth is synthetic, it may melt due to the
high temperature on the soleplate (18). Switch off
the steam and rub off any residue immediately
with a thickly folded, dry cotton cloth.
5. Never use abrasive products or solvents. To keep
the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard
contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring
pad, or chemicals to clean the soleplate.
F. Storing the appliance
See the leaflet sides
1. Always allow the appliance to cool down before
storing it.

• The main power button is not
switched on.
• The main power button is not
switched on.
• The temperature is set to a low
position.
• During first use: certain
components on the appliance
have been lightly greased at the
factory and may produce a little
smoke when initially heated.
• During subsequent use: the
soleplate may be soiled.
3. Empty the water tank.
4. Place the iron on the iron pad (1), standing on
the soleplate, and fix it by inserting the tip of
the iron into the front slot and moving the lock
lever (14) against the heel of the iron.
5. Store the mains cable in the storage
compartment (7) and the steam hose in the
storage fixing (3). Do not wrap the cords too
tight.
6. Use the iron´s handle when moving the
appliance, as shown in figure F.
Tips to help you
save energy
Steam production consumes the most energy. To
help minimise the energy used, follow the advice
below:
• Start by ironing the fabrics that require the
lowest ironing temperature.
Check the recommended ironing temperature
in the label on the garment.
• Regulate the steam according to the selected
ironing temperature, following the instructions
in this manual.
• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are still damp
and reduce the steam setting. Steam will be
generated from the fabrics rather than the iron.
If you tumble dry your fabrics before ironing
them, set the tumble drier on the 'iron dry'
programme.
• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn off the
steam regulator completely.
Solution
• Rinse the filter and the boiler
according to the cleaning instructions
in this manual (see section E).
• Check the mains cable (6), the plug
and the socket.
• Set the main power button (12) to the
"I" position (illuminated in red).
• Set the main power button (12) to the
"I" position (illuminated in red).
• Set the temperature to the desired
position.
• This is completely normal and will
stop after a short while.
• Clean the soleplate according to the
cleaning instructions in this manual.
