Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
1 Set the steam control to position 0, remove the plug from the wall
socket and let the iron cool down.
2 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.
3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank
after you have rinsed it.
Double-active Calc-Clean system
- The Anti-Calc cartridge prevents scale from clogging the steam vents.
This cartridge is constantly active and does not need to be replaced.
- 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 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Set the steam control to position 0.
3 Fill the water tank to the MAX indication.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.
4 Put the iron on its stand.
