Maintenance
. Auto-cleaning
In order to reduce the formation of scale,
Moulinex has integrated an auto-cleaning
system into your iron, which we advise you to
operate at regular intervals approx once per
month. Please follow these steps:
- The iron should be cold and unplugged.
- Set the steam adjustment control (C) to
position .
- Fill the tank up to the maximum level.
- Set the temperature adjustment control (J) to
MAX. Plug in the iron. As soon as the
temperature indicator light (I) goes out, unplug
the iron and place it over the sink. Turn the
steam control light (C) to the auto-clean
position . Allow the tank to empty. The
mixture of water/steam will carry away the
scale residues contained in the soleplate.
- Then reset the steam adjustment control (C)
to position .
- Using slow, deliberate movements, swing the
iron from left to right to give the soleplate a
good rinse and to remove the water remaining
in the soleplate. Empty the iron.
- Plug in the iron again in order to dry the
soleplate: perform this operation over a cloth
(watch out for water splashes or steam being
ejected).
- After this operation, unplug the iron once
more.
- Clean the soleplate on a cloth made of thick,
clean, damp cotton, before putting away the
iron or before using it again (iron cold).
Storage
