Additional functions

F1 Self Clean – prolongs the life of the iron
The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the
steam chamber.
To operate:
• Fill the tank with untreated tap water up to the maximum mark and
heat the iron to max. temperature for 2 minutes.
• Unplug from the mains.
• Hold iron over a sink horizontally, push the steam control past the
position and into the Self Clean position and hold it there: steam will
now begin to build up. After a few seconds water and steam will
emerge from the soleplate, rinsing impurities and scale particles out
of the steam chamber.
• After approx. 1 minute move the steam control slide to the
• Insert mains plug and allow the iron to heat up again.
• Wait until the remaining water has evaporated.
• Unplug from the mains and allow iron to fully cool down.
• When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.
We recommend using the Self Clean function approx. every 2 weeks.
If your water is very hard, the iron should be cleaned weekly.
Self Clean Valve
The self clean valve prevents the drip hole into the steam chamber
from furring or blocking up. To ensure the iron continues to function
properly, open and close the valve by sliding the steam control to max
then min a few times after use.
F2 Anti-scale system (depending on model)
Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This consi-
derably prolongs the operational life of your iron. The anti scale cartridge is
an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be replaced.
Do not use descaling agents, as they will damage the lining of the
steam chamber and so may impair the steam function.
F3 Anti-Drip System (depending on model)
If the temperature is set too low, the iron cannot produce steam
because of the anti-drip technology which prevents droplets of water
leaking from the soleplate.
F4 Electronic 3-stage automatic switch-off (depending on model)
If the iron is switched on and not moved for a period of 8 minutes
while standing on its heel or 30 seconds while standing on the sole-
plate or lying on its side, an internal safety feature will switch the iron
off and the automatic switch-off indicator will blink. Move the applian-
ce sharply to switch it on again.
