Warning!
Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
Warning!
Check the state of the power cable of your iron on a regular basis before using it, and if it is damaged, take it to the
service centre closest to you to have it replaced only by specialised personnel.
Cleaning the soleplate and shell
Warning!
Do not use abrasives for cleaning the soleplate. Try and keep the soleplate smooth: avoid contact with metal objects.
Any deposits and other residue on the soleplate can be removed using a cloth soaked in a water and vinegar solution.
Clean plastic parts with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry them with a dry cloth.
Self clean system
To prolong the life of your iron, we recommend that this procedure be carried out at regular intervals (once or twice
a month).
Fill the water tank for a quarter using the measuring cup (P) provided (Fig. 5). Fill the tank up to the level marked MAX. Put
the iron on its iron rest (O). Plug into the mains socket. Make sure the steam adjustment selector is set on "0". Position the
temperature adjustment knob on "max". Let the iron heat until the indicator light (H) turns on for the second time.
Unplug the iron and keep it in a horizontal position on a sink.
Press the "SELF CLEAN" button (K) and keep the iron in horizontal position. Steam and boiling water will come out from the
plate holes removing the lime scale and impurities that have accumulated inside the plate.
Gently move the iron back and forth until the tank is completely emptied.
Put the steam adjustment selector back on minimum "0" at the end of the self-cleaning procedure. Place the iron on its
iron stand and wait that the plate cools completely. Make sure that the soleplate is completely dry before storing the iron.
Before using the iron again, try it on an old piece of cloth to make sure that the soleplate and tank are clean and to
allow residual water to vaporize.
THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED BY CLOGGING DUE TO LIME.
