12 • Anti-scale system
Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits.
This considerably 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.
13 • Cleaning the iron
When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as required.
14 • Self Clean (prolongs the life of the iron)
The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber. Fill the
water tank with untreated tap water up to the max mark and heat the iron to the •••
temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink horizontally. Push the self clean button
for 1 minute
fig.14 : steam will now begin to build up. After a few seconds water will
emerge from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.
Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remaining water has
evaporated. Unplug from the mains and allow the iron to fully cool down.
When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.
