 CLEANING THE IRON
o
Clean the plastic parts with a wet, non-abrasive cloth, and dry it using a dry cloth.
 EMPTYING AND CLEANING THE BOILER
o
Caution! Turn off the appliance after ironing and pull the power plug out of the
socket. Before you remove the safety cap (1), completely discharge the steam
(depress the steam button) and wait until the appliance has sufficiently cooled off
(approx. 2 hours) and the internal pressure is dispersed.
The following maintenance work must be carried out when water drips out of the
o
steam holes, or at least about every 3 months.

Before you clean your iron, pull the plug out of the socket and make sure the
iron has completely cooled off.

Completely empty the boiler over a sink.

Fill the boiler with tap water. Close the safety cap and shake the appliance.

Once again, empty all the water in the boiler.

Repeat the process until the water running out is clear and clean.
o
Decalcifying

In addition, you can decalcify your appliance (in the case of water leakage) or
flush it with water. Limescale residues can be removed using a commercially
available decalcifying agent. However, to best care for your appliance and
achieve optimum results, we recommend that our customers use the
decalcifying agent Rotel "Clac Clean". Fill the measuring cup at a ratio of 1:2
with 1/3 decalcifying agent and 2/3 water, and pour it into the water filler hole.
NEVER HEAT IT UP! Pour out the liquid after 1 to 2 hours. Rinse it out with tap
water several times.
 WHAT KIND OF WATER IS SUITABLE?
o
Tap Water

The manufacturer recommends operating the appliance using tap water with a
total hardness of up to 17° water hardness degree. Call your local water utilities
service for information on the water hardness degree. Should your area have
extremely hard tap water – for the sake of your laundry – we recommend
adding boiled or distilled water to the tap water at a ratio of 1:1.
o
Distilled Water

Please take into consideration that exclusively using distilled water could
impede steam generation. Water drops could then drip out of the soleplate.
Distilled water should either be mixed with tap water at a ratio of 1:1, or you
should occasionally only use tap water 3 to 4 times in a row.
