Method 1 - Self-Cleaning.
With the self-cleaning feature you can flush out mineral
residue from the steam generating chamber and the steam vents,
refreshing your iron each time for a longer steaming
life. It is very important to operate the self cleaning
feature after each steam ironing to prevent mineral
accumulations from hardening.
- Fill the water tank with tap water. Refer to the how
to refill the water tank section in the
operating instructions.
- Set the temperature select dial to [ OFF ]
- Plug into a 120V AC household outley.
- Stand the iron up and set the temperature select dial to
the [ MAX ] position. Wait unti the thermostat
operating light goes off (about 1 - 2 minutes).
- Set the Dial to [ OFF ] and remove the AC plug.
- Hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
- Press and hold the [ Self Cleaning ] button and
shake the iron back and forth.
Impurities and scale (if any), together with steam and
boiling water will be flushed out.
Steam will flush out first, and boiling water will flush out
after approx. 30 seconds.
(Caution: water will be scalding hot)
- Once the water tank has been completely drained, hold the
iron horizontally over the sink. Or, stand the iron up on a
stable surface and place an old towel or similar under the
soleplate.
- Plug into a 120V AC household outlet and set the
temperature select indicator to [ MAX ]. Impurities
together with steam and boiling water will be flushed out.
- Set the temperature selector to [ OFF ] and unplug.
After the iron is dry follow the instructions for "How to Care for your iron after each
use."
Method 2 - Clean Using the Power Shot Feature
- Fill the water tank with tap water. refer to Refer to the
how to refill the water tank section in the
operating instructions.
- Set the temperature select indicator to " OFF ".
- Plug into a 120V AC household outlet.
- Stand the iron up and set the temperature select indicator
to " MAX ".
- Hold the iron horizontally over the sink after the
thermostat operating indicator light has gone out. Pump the
power shot button quickly (at least 2 times per second) for
approx. 30 times continuously. While pumping, shake the iron
back and forth.
- Set the temperature select indicator to " OFF ".
- Unplug and dispose of any water remaining in the water
tank.
- To prevent corrosion of the soleplate vents, plug into a
120V AC household outlet, stand the iron up, set the
temperature select indicator to " MAX " and preheat for about 5
minutes. Set the temperature select indicator to " OFF " and
unplug.
- Iron on a used cloth to remove any impurities on the
soleplate.
- Repeat METHOD(1) and METHOD(2) if venting of the steam does
not improve.
- Use both methods once every two weeks. If the water is very
hard (i.e. steam holes on the soleplate are easily blocked by
impurities), both methods should be used more frequently.
- Let the iron cool down on its heel rest and follow the
instructions in the " After each use"
Method 3 - Stay Clean Vents
The built-in Anti Calc System in the Water Tank continuously
reduces scale build up in the vaporizing chamber of the
iron.
This system makes it possible to use the steam function for a
long period of time and prevents steam vents from clogging.
How to Care for your iron after each use.
Cleaning the outside surface of the iron
- After unplugging and cooling the iron, simply wipe off with
a damp cloth and if necessary, use a mild detergent.
- Never use any harsh cleaners.
Cleaning the Soleplate
-
Starch and other residue may be easily removed from the
Soleplate with a damp cloth.
-
To avoid scratching the finish, never use a metallic
pad to clean the Soleplate, and never place the iron on a
rough surface.
-
The best way to remove synthetic residue from the
Soleplate is to iron over an old cotton cloth rag after
heating the iron.
Note
- Never use cleaners in the iron, since they may damage the
working parts of the iron. Some odor may be released during
initial use of the iron, however, this is normal and the odor
will not attach to your clothes. Never use steam iron detergent
in the iron, as they may damage working parts of the iron.
