Maintaining your ARDESTO IR-B2234 Steam Iron is crucial for its longevity and performance. Here's how to clean it properly:

Regular Cleaning:
- Use a damp cloth or a non-abrasive liquid detergent to wipe away any residue, starch, or deposits from the soleplate.
- Avoid using steel wool or any metallic objects that could scratch the soleplate.
- Clean the plastic components with a damp cloth and dry them afterward.
-
Self-Cleaning:
- Fill the water reservoir to its maximum level, and set the steam regulator to the "OFF" position.
- Turn the temperature control dial to the highest setting and wait for the indicator light to turn off.
- Unplug the iron and hold it horizontally over a sink.
- Move the steam regulator to the self-clean position and hold it there until all boiling water, steam, and impurities are released.
- Once the self-cleaning cycle finishes, plug the iron back in. Set the steam regulator to "OFF" and dry-heat the iron until the indicator light goes off.
- Turn the temperature control dial to the lowest setting, unplug the iron, and let any remaining water drain out by turning the iron upside down.
-
After Ironing:
- Unplug the iron from the power outlet.
- Empty the water reservoir by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
- Allow the iron to cool completely before storing it upright.
