To descale your Sencor SHS 8603BK Iron, fill the water tank with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Set the iron to the steam setting and let it steam through. Then, rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water.
First, ensure the iron is plugged in and the power outlet is working. Check that the temperature setting is correctly adjusted. If it still does not heat, the thermostat may need replacement. Contact customer service for further assistance.
To clean the soleplate, use a damp cloth or sponge with a little mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a paste of baking soda and water. Avoid using abrasive materials as they can damage the surface.
It is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral deposits inside the iron, which can affect its performance and durability.
Ensure that the water tank is not overfilled and the iron is set to the correct temperature for steaming. Allow the iron to heat up completely before using the steam function.
Fill the water tank, set the iron to the highest temperature, and let it heat up. Once hot, hold the iron over a sink, press the self-clean button, and let steam and hot water flush out any deposits.
Check if the water tank is filled and the iron is set to a temperature that supports steam. If the problem persists, the steam vents might be clogged and require cleaning.
Using tap water is not recommended as it may contain minerals that can cause scaling. If tap water is used, be sure to descale the iron regularly to maintain its efficiency.
Empty the water tank, allow the iron to cool completely, and then wrap the cord loosely around the base. Store the iron in an upright position to avoid damaging the soleplate.
The odor might be due to residue burning off from previous usage. Run the iron on the highest setting over a damp cloth to clean it. If the odor persists, contact customer support.
