Step 2:
At this stage, first, unplug the power cable carefully hold the iron over a sink or a tub horizontally. Ensure that the diameter of the sink covers the full iron plate. Then press the self-clean button of the iron for one minute which is situated just behind the thermostat knob.
Step 3:
As long as you press the self-cleaning button, it will spread steam through the small holes of the plate. At the same time shake the iron gently back and forth. Thus, steam will come through all the holes and it will clean them if they were stuck for any small particles.
Step 4:
After that, again plug in the iron and wait for 2 minutes so that the iron will again heat up and the remaining water of the tank will be evaporated. Thus, the tank will be empty and unplug the power cable.
After around 1 hour, when the iron plate cooled down, wipe out the plate with a damp cloth and ensured that it is totally clean. After all of these processes, you are done and the iron is cleaned.
