follows:
- Fill the water reservoir up to the
maximum level mark with water.
- Place the iron on its base stand and insert
the plug into the wall socket.
- Set the temperature control to its
maximum.
- Wait until the red indicator light goes
out.
- Remove the plug from the wall socket.
- Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
- With the self-cleaning button depressed,
swing the iron lightly to and fro until no
more steam or hot water is emitted.
