Cleaning the soleplate
• While the soleplate is still slightly warm, clean it by wiping over it with a
damp non-metallic cloth.
Care of your iron
• Unplug the iron and empty the tank. To take out the anti-scale valve,
switch to DRY.
• The valve can then be lifted out. Use the grips on the side (fig G) to pull it
out.
• Leave the valve to soak for 4 hours in a glass of white vinegar or natural
lemon juice (fig H) .
• Rinse the valve under the tap. Re-insert the anti-scale valve, using slight
pressure.
IMPORTANT! Unplug your iron
and leave it to cool before
cleaning it.

Your iron heats quickly: start
with fabrics that can be ironed
at low temperatures and work
up to finish with those that
require a high temperature.
If you turn down the thermostat
control, wait for the indicator
light to come on before you
start ironing again.
If you are ironing a fabric made
of mixed fibres, set the ironing
temperature for the most deli-
cate fabric.
What temperature and steam settings should be used ?
• To change the setting from “Min” to “Max”, turn the thermostat control
anti-clockwise.
• Set the thermostat control (fig D), according to the table below.
• The thermostat indicator light will come on (fig E). It goes out when the
soleplate has reached the required temperature.

remain in the tank.
