Cleaning your BRAYER BR4008 steam iron's steam chamber is crucial for optimal performance. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Prepare the Iron: Ensure the iron is unplugged, switched off, and completely cool before you begin cleaning.
- Fill the Water Tank: Open the water inlet and fill the tank with water, up to the maximum level indicated (MAX). Securely close the lid.
- Set the Temperature: Place the iron on its heel rest and plug it into a power outlet. Set the temperature control to the highest setting, indicated by "MAX." The indicator light will turn on.
- Initiate Self-Cleaning: Once the soleplate is hot and the indicator light turns off, hold the iron horizontally over a sink. Set the continuous steam function to the "self-cleaning" position.
- Release Steam and Scale: Hold the iron in the self-cleaning position. Boiling water and steam, along with any scale buildup, will be released from the soleplate vents. Gently move the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.
- Cool and Wipe: Place the iron back on its heel rest and let the soleplate cool completely. Once cool, wipe the soleplate with a dry cloth.
- Drain and Store: Before storing your BRAYER BR4008, ensure the water tank is empty and the soleplate is dry. Store the iron upright in a cool, dry place, away from children and individuals with disabilities. Regular cleaning will help maintain the efficiency and lifespan of your BRAYER steam iron.
