CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning, rst unplug and let the appliance cool. Clean residues and any other deposits from the base with a damp cloth or a non- abrasive (liquid) cleaning product.

Wipe o water droplets on the base of the unit and the thermal insulaon bracket with a dry cloth. Limescale lter Due to the large amount of steam that this appliance produces, limescale can form inside the water tank. Since limescale can aect the components of the appliance, it is important that limescale build-up is kept to a minimum. The appliance is equipped with an an- scale lter, which cleans and prevents scale build-up from aecng the pump and other components inside the appliance. The limescale lter must be replaced periodically. How oen the lter needs to be replaced will depend on how oen the iron is used and the hardness of the water in the area. For informaon on water hardness in your area, consult your local water supplier. If limescale accumulates inside the water tank or if the appliance loses performance,22 www.ama.pt this indicates that the lter has stopped working properly. If this happens, replace the limescale lter. Replacing the limescale lter Change the lter with the appliance cold and disconnected from the mains. Empty the water tank. Remove the limescale lter from the boom of the generator base. Replace with a new lter. WARNING! Never pour vinegar or other cleaning uids to remove calcium into the water tank. Storage Check that the appliance is cold and dry. Check that the water tank is empty and turn the temperature buon to the MIN posion. Fit the iron into the rear stopper of the generator base and slide the storage latch upwards unl you hear a click. Wrap the power cord and steam supply hose around the base of the appliance. Store horizontally in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children.
