General care and cleaning
●
Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
●
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
●
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
- If necessary, the appliance may be wiped
with a dry lint-free cloth.
Iron
- Starch, fat and other deposits on the sole
plate may be removed with a woollen
cloth soaked in a vinegar/water solution.
- In order to protect the clean sole plate,
occasionally apply a small amount of
paraffin to the warm plate, wiping it off

- The steam outlet openings in the sole
plate are cleaned by repeatedly pressing
the steam jet button while holding the
iron over a sink or a suitable container.
Hot water and steam will be emitted
through the openings in the sole plate.
