2. Cleaning the appliance

Regularly clean your appliance for properly maintenance.
Attention! Burn risk!
1 If the appliance is only slightly soiled, wipe it with a
damp cotton cloth only, and then dry it.
2 To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid
contact with hard metal objects. Never use a scouring
pad, or chemicals to clean the soleplate.
1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Empty the
water tank (9).
2 Place the iron on the steam station, standing on the
pad (12).
If your steam station is equipped with iron lock system
(13*), fix the iron to it. First insert the heel and then
block the tip moving the lock system against the iron.
3 Store the steam hose (5) and the mains cable (6) on
the storage holder (7).
Possible causes
1. During first use: certain
components on the appliance
have been lightly greased at
the factory and may produce a
small amount of smoke when
initially heated.
2. During subsequent use: the
soleplate may be soiled.
1. The water is condensing inside
the tubes because steam is
being used for the first time or
has not been used for a long
time.
Solution
1. This is completely normal
and will stop after a short
while.
2. Clean the soleplate
according to the cleaning
instructions in this manual.
1. Point the iron away from the
ironing area and press the
steam release button until
steam is produced.
