Repeat the self-clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities. After self-cleaning - Plug in the iron to let the soleplate dry up. - Unplug the iron when the amber pilot light has gone out. - Move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains that may have formed on the soleplate. - Let the iron cool down before you store it.
After ironing

Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid hard contact with metal objects. 3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth. Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after cleaning.
