Care, Cleaning And Storage; Self-Cleaning - Breville VIN239 Instruction Booklet

Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior
of your iron because they will damage the surface.
Cleaning the soleplate of your Iron
After each use, allow your iron to completely cool down before wiping the soleplate with
a soft damp cloth. If polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth while
your iron is still hot. If necessary, allow your iron to completely cool down then wipe over
the soleplate with a soft cloth moistened with methylated spirits. Wipe off the methylated
spirits with a damp cloth then dry the soleplate.

Self-cleaning

Only press the self-clean button when you want to activate the self cleaning
system. Never press the self-clean button when ironing.
The self-clean function removes scale and impurities. Use the self-clean function once
every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard, the self clean function should be
used more frequently.
