Self cleaning
Your iron will give the best ironing results and
last longer if you apply “self-cleaning” once a
month to remove any scale, fluff etc.
Fill the iron as described in the section of
‘How to fill water’. Fill the water tank up to half
full. Place the iron on a flat surface in a
standing position.
Connect to a mains supply outlet.
Turn the temperature dial in a clockwise
direction to the maximum setting. When the
temperature indicator light goes off for the
second time, turn the temperature dial in an anti-
clockwise direction to ‘min’.
Disconnect the iron from the mains outlet
and hold the iron horizontally over a sink. Push
and hold the variable steam control dial to the
self cleaning position.
Steam and boiling water will emit from the
holes on the soleplate washing away scale and
mineral deposits in the steam chamber. Gently
move the iron back and forward until the water
tank is empty. When the self cleaning is
complete, release the variable steam control.
To clean the stainless steel soleplate
(certain models only)
To keep the soleplate of your iron clean and
free of limescale, we recommend that you use
one of the gentle chrome, silver or stainless
steel cleaners that are generally available.
Always follow the manufacturers instructions.
To clean off melted man-made fibres set the
iron at 3 dot position and pass it over a clean
piece of cotton which will draw the deposit off
the surface.
To clean a coated soleplate
(certain models only)
In the unlikely event of any man-made fibre
fusing to the soleplate, set the iron at the 3 dot
position and pass it over a clean piece of
cotton which will draw the deposit off the
surface.
Do not use scouring powder or solution as
this could cause damage to the coating.
To clean the exterior
Allow the iron to cool and wipe over with a
damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe with
a dry cloth.
