4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
-
After using the product for a certain period of time (after 10 hours of operation or after 10
tanks of water have been used), it should be cleaned.
-
To avoid the risk of burns, remove the power plug and allow the machine to cool down for
at least two hours before descaling.
-
Unplug the power plug when servicing, cleaning, or repairing the product.
-
In case fabric is adhered to the soleplate due to heat, use a damp cloth and vinegar to
detach it.
-
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean the device.
Decalcifying the iron
We divide the descaling process into two phases: manual cleaning and programmed cleaning
(using a button on the iron).
Manual cleaning: the following steps are to be carried out:
1.
Mix 40 g of descaling product (if there is a lot of limescale, increase the amount of
product as necessary) and 1 litre of water. Pour the mixture into the drain valve port,
close the drain valve and shake 3-5 times. You may also use white vinegar with water in a
1:1 solution. If there is more scale, please increase the amount of vinegar as appropriate.
2. Pour the mixture into the hole in the drain valve and close the valve so that the mixture
does not spill out (always use clean water for cleaning, otherwise bad odours may occur).
3. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 1-2 hours (if there is more scale, let it sit
for longer, but do not exceed 8 hours).
4. Empty the mixture through the drain valve.
5. Pour clean water through the drain valve port and then drain the mixture. Repeatedly
inject clean water until the residual scale and organic acid smell disappear.
6. Rinse well.
Scheduled cleaning: to do so, we will proceed with the following steps:
-
Residual water in the part where the water tank is connected to the body must be cleaned
up to prevent scale from building up.
-
During use, once the appliance has accumulated 10 hours of operation, the descaling
indicator will light up and the device will start beeping to remind you that the descaling
process is advisable. There are two options:
-
If you live in an area with high water hardness (to find out the hardness in your area,
look for a map of lime hardness in Spain), it is highly recommended that you carry out a
decalcification process on your iron. Follow the steps below:
1.
Fill the water tank to the maximum.
2. Press and hold both buttons on the iron and at the same time press and hold the start
button on the appliance. After 5s, the lights will start flashing and the descaling process
