" setting and allow the iron to cool down before storing away. You should never store your iron on its soleplate even when it is cold. SELF CLEANING Vapodur Valve The patented Vapodur valve ensures that the opening which allows the water to drip from the water tank into the steam chamber of your iron remains unaffected by hard water deposits. To ensure your iron continues to steam efficiently the valve MUST be opened and closed a few times. This is done by moving the variable steam control from "min. " to "max. " a few times each time you finish ironing. Steam Chamber Cleaning Function (Depending on model) This function allows loose mineral deposits and other impurities that build up inside the iron to be flushed out. This type of self cleaning only needs to be carried out occasionally and never more than once a month. When the iron reaches the correct temperature, indicator light will go out, unplug iron. Hold iron horizontally over the sink with soleplate pointing away from body. Slide variable steam control completely over and hold in the section marked SELF CLEAN. WARNING: Doing this will cause steam and hot water to be ejected from the soleplate. [. . . ] Move the iron gently back and forth and from side to side until all water has run through. Carefully wipe all water and material from the soleplate with an old folded towel, as the water and minerals can stain the soleplate (although this has no effect on glide or performance). WARNING: Iron and soleplate may still be hot, exercise care while wiping. IMPORTANT: Before using the iron after self cleaning, test steam and burst of steam on an old towel or cloth to ensure all loose material has been removed from the iron. [. . . ]
