3-Way automatic shut-off

Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning the anti-scale valve
It is recommended that you clean the anti-scale valve once a month to re-
move scale build up on the valve. Clean the anti-scale valve as noted below:
•
Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.
•
Remove the anti-scale valve (
fig 11
).
•
Soak the valve (the black section only) in white vinegar or plain lemon
juice for 4 hours (
fig 12
).
•
Rinse the valve under running water and replace the anti-scale valve in
the iron.
Cleaning the iron
In order to reduce scale build-up and extend the life of your iron, it is recommended that you use the Self-Cleaning
feature once a month, as noted below:
•
Unplug the iron, set the steam control lever to
and fill the water tank to
MAX
.
•
Place the iron on its heel, set the temperature dial to
MAX
, plug in the iron and wait for the indicator light to
go out.
•
Unplug the iron and hold it horizontally over a sink.
•
Remove the anti-scale valve (
fig 11
).
In order to achieve the
maximum amount of steam,
it is recommended that you
wait a few seconds after you
first push the Burst of Steam
button before pressing it
again.
Every fifth time you press the
button, return the iron to the
horizontal position.
The steam is very hot. When
using the ve rtical steam func-
tion, always iron with the
garment on a hanger, never
while wearing it.
When the auto-off warning
light is on, it is normal for the
temperature light to remain
off.
Unplug your iron and let it
cool completely before
cleaning it. The iron will not
function without the
anti-scale valve. Never touch
the end of the valve !
