Mix Vinegar and Water: Combine half vinegar and half water and pour the mixture into the iron’s water reservoir.
Activate the Steam Function: Turn on the iron and allow it to steam for a few minutes to loosen and expel any limescale deposits.
Flush the Reservoir: After steaming, empty the reservoir and rinse it with clean water to remove any vinegar traces.
Vinegar’s natural acidity helps dissolve limescale buildup, ensuring your iron functions efficiently and continues to produce consistent steam.

Tips for Proper Ironing and Maintenance
While cleaning your iron is essential, following proper ironing techniques and maintenance practices can further enhance its performance and lifespan. Here are some helpful tips:

Use the Right Settings: Always adjust the iron’s temperature settings according to the fabric you are ironing. Using too high a temperature on delicate fabrics can cause damage.

Avoid Ironing Over Zippers and Buttons: Direct contact with metal components can scratch and damage the soleplate. Use a cloth to protect the soleplate and the fabric.
