Dry Ironing

Maintenance
- Cleaning the Soleplate: After each use, allow the iron to cool completely. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive iron cleaner.
- Descaling: The iron features a built-in cleaning system to capture mineral build-up. For optimal performance, perform monthly descaling as per the iron's specific instructions (refer to the full product manual for detailed descaling steps).
- Storage: Always empty the water tank after use. Store the iron upright on its heel rest to prevent damage to the soleplate.
