Maintenance
1. Emptying the Water Tank:
After each use, unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water. This prevents mineral buildup.
2. Cleaning the Soleplate:
If the soleplate becomes dirty, clean it with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner designed for iron soleplates. Do not use abrasive pads or metallic objects.
3. Calc Collector Maintenance:
The integrated calc collector helps to capture mineral deposits. Regularly remove and clean the calc collector to maintain optimal steam performance and prolong the life of your iron. Refer to the official PDF manual for detailed instructions on how to remove and clean the calc collector.
