How to care for and store an iron. - NI-W950

3 - Way cleaning

Method 1 - Using the Self-Cleaning.

1. Fill the water Tank with tap water.
   
    
2. Set the Temperature Selector to the “ O " position.
   
   
3. Plug the Power Plug into a household outlet.
4. Set the Temperature Selector to the “ MAX " position.
   
   
5. Unplug the iron after the Thermostat Operating Indicator Light has gone out.
   
   
    
6. Hold the iron horizontally over the sink, press and hold the Self-Cleaning Button and gently shake the iron back and forth. Impurities and scale (if any), together with steam and boiling water will be flushed out.
   
    

Method 2 - Using the Jet of Steam Feature

1. Repeat steps 1 to 4 as described in “Method 1”.
2. Hold the iron horizontally over the sink after the Thermostat Operating Indicator Light has gone out.
3. Pump the Jet of Steam Button quickly (at least 3 times per second) about 20-30 times. While pumping, tilt the iron up and down slowly to help clean the entire inside and let the water drip out of the soleplate vents.
   
   
4. Preheat the iron for about 5 minutes at "MAX" temperature when the iron has cooled without button operation.
5. Unplug the Power Plug.
   • Do not store the iron with water in the Water Tank.
6. Iron on a used cloth to remove any impurities on the Soleplate.

• Repeat Method 1 and Method 2 if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
• Use both methods once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard (i.e. Steam holes on the Soleplate are easily blocked by impurities), both methods should be used more frequently.
• Let the iron cool down on its Heel Rest and follow the instructions “After each use”

Method 3 Anti calc System (Stay Clean Vents)

The built-in Anti Calc System in the Water Tank continuously reduces scale build up in the vaporizing chamber of the iron.
This system makes it possible to use the steam function for a long period of time and prevents steam vents from clogging.

 

How to Care for your iron after each use.

 

1. Set the Temperature Selector to " O ”.
   
   
2. Turn to iron off and unplug the power plug.
3. Empty the iron immediately after using.  Do not store the iron with water in it.
   If you empty the iron after it has cooled, heat the iron for about 5 minutes ar "MAX" temperature.
4. Set the Steam/Dry Selector to the Dry position. If the Steam/Dry Selector is not in the Dry position after using, remaining water will move into the Soleplate and can result in burns when the iron is used next time.
   
   
    
5. Do not use the Steam or the “Jet of Steam” while the Power Plug is unplugged or the Temperature Selector is set to “ O ”, water will remain inside the Soleplate and cause staining.
    
6. Wait until the iron has cooled before storing it, and always set it on the Heel Rest to protect the Soleplate from scratches, corrosion or stains.
   
   

Cleaning the outside surface of the iron

1. After unplugging and cooling the iron, simply wipe off with a damp cloth and if necessary, use a mild detergent.
2. Never use any harsh cleaners.

Cleaning the Soleplate

1. Starch and other residue may be easily removed from the Soleplate with a damp cloth.
2. To avoid scratching the finish, never use a metallic pad to clean the Soleplate, and never place the iron on a rough surface.
3. The best way to remove synthetic residue from the Soleplate is to iron over an old cotton cloth rag after heating the iron.

Note

• Never use cleaners in the iron, since they may damage the working parts of the iron. Some odor may be released during initial use of the iron, however, this is normal and the odor will not attach to your clothes. Never use steam iron detergent in the iron, as they may damage working parts of the iron.
