12. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the water reservoir
 Unplug the iron. To empty the water 
reservoir, open the water inlet cover (8) 
and hold the iron with the hole facing 
downwards until all the water has run out 
(Fig. I). Shake the iron gently to remove any 
drops left inside. 
Storage
Leave the iron to cool down before storing 
it away. If you do not use the iron on a 
daily basis, it is a good idea to empty the 
water reservoir after each use to extend the 
useful life of the iron. Wind the cord around 
the support base (do not wind tightly) and 
store the iron away on its base. 
Cleaning
 Unplug the iron and wait until it has cooled 
down before cleaning it. Clean the outside 
and the sole with a damp cloth. Do not use 
detergent or abrasive products. Do not 
immerse the iron in water or run it under 
the tap.
Self-clean
 This function will remove limescale and 
minerals accumulating in the steam 
chamber. The sole will need to be self-
cleaned once you have used the steam 
function for 5 hours. When this is needed, 
the       symbol will appear on the LCD 
screen (4). 
1.  Half-fill the water reservoir, as described 
in Section 3 “Filling the water reservoir”. 
2.  Place the iron upright and plug it in. 
Press the “increase temperature” 
regulator (6) to turn on the unit.
3.  Set the maximum temperature. See 
Section 4 “Setting the temperature”.
4.  Hold the “increase temperature” 
setting (6) down for 2 seconds to 
switch the iron off and then unplug it.
5.  Place the iron upright in the sink and 
hold the self-clean button (10) down. 
6.  The steam and hot water will remove 
the limescale and minerals created in 
the steam chamber. 
7.  Move the iron carefully forward until 
the water reservoir is empty and let 
go of the self-clean button.
8.  Place the iron on its support base 
and leave it to cool down completely.
9.  Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. 
13. INFORMATION FOR THE 
CORRECT DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL 
AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES
At the end of its working 
life, the product must not be 
disposed of as urban waste. 
It must be taken to a special 
local authority differentiated 
waste collection centre or 
to a dealer providing this service. Disposing 
of a household appliance separately avoids 
possible negative consequences for the 
environment and health deriving from 
inappropriate disposal and enables the 
constituent materials to be recovered to 
obtain significant savings in energy and 
resources. 
To remind you that you must collaborate with 
a selective collection scheme, the symbol 
shown appears on the product warning 
you not to dispose of it in traditional refuse 
containers.
For further information, contact your local 
authority or the shop where you bought the 
product.
