3.3 Cordless Operation

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your iron.
4.1 Cleaning the Soleplate
- Ensure the iron is cool and unplugged.
- Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.
- Do not use abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the soleplate coating.
4.2 Descaling (Anti-Calc System)
The iron features an anti-calc system to reduce mineral buildup. For areas with very hard water, occasional descaling may still be beneficial. Consult the Panasonic support website for specific descaling instructions if needed.
4.3 Storage
After use, empty any remaining water from the tank. Allow the iron to cool completely before storing it on its charging base in a dry, safe place, away from children.
