• Steam and boiling water will now emit from the holes in the soleplate. Impurities and
scale will be flushed out at the same time.
• Move the iron forwards and backwards over the sink while steam and boiling water emit
from the soleplate and continue until the water tank is empty.
• After descaling release the self-cleaning button.
• Let the soleplate cool off and wipe with a damp cloth.
Repeat the self-cleansing procedure until there are no more impurities.
IMPORTANT! Never use the self-cleansing button while ironing. The self-clean
button must only be used when activating the self-cleansing procedure.
Cleaning and Maintenance
In case fabric finish residues should melt on the soleplate, these can be removed by using
a rough cloth soaked in a vinegar water solution. Dry with a soft cloth. There are various
products available that can be used as cleansing agents for the soleplate in cases, where
burned cloth fibres or others stick to the soleplate. We have not tested all these products and
a possible use of such products is therefore the user’s responsibility. Damage to the soleplate
or the iron due to the use of a cleansing agent is not covered by the warranty.
Do not use sharp objects or scratching detergents for the cleaning of the soleplate, as such
products will scratch the soleplate and thereby shorten the lifetime of the iron considerably.
Always remember to empty the iron completely in order to avoid unnecessary scaling.
Never pour vinegar or other available descaling product in the iron itself. Do not use
demineralised or distilled water. Such liquids may combine with the metallic parts
of the iron and damage it. Damages to the iron or garments due to the use of other
liquids than tap water are not covered by the warranty.
