Cleaning and maintenance
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket, set the steam control to position 0 and let the iron
cool down before you clean it.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.
after ironing
1 Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive
(liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad,
vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.
2 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
3 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after you have rinsed it.
Double-active Calc System
The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the water tank combined with
the Calc-Clean function.
1 The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. This tablet is constantly active
and does not need to be replaced.
2 The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.
using the Calc-Clean function
Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard (i.e. when
flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.
1 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.
2 Set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 18).
3 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
4 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.
5 Hold the iron over the sink. Push the steam control to the Calc-Clean position and hold it.
Gently shake the iron to and fro (Fig. 19).
,
Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Impurities and flakes (if any) are flushed
out.
6 Release the steam control as soon as all the water in the tank has been used up.
Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
after the Calc-Clean process
1 Put the plug in the wall socket and let the iron heat up to let the soleplate dry.
2 Unplug the iron when it has reached the set ironing temperature.
3 Move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains that may
have formed on the soleplate.
4 Let the iron cool down before you store it.
Storage
1 Set the steam control to position 0, unplug the iron and let it cool down.
2 Empty the water tank and store the iron on its heel on a stable surface. (Fig. 20)
