Safe rest
Resting the iron while rearranging your garment
While rearranging your garment, you can rest the iron either on the iron platform or horizontally on the
ironing board (Fig. 2). The OptimalTEMP technology ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing
board cover.
Energy saving
Eco mode
By using the ECO mode (reduced amount of steam), you can save energy without compromising on the
ironing result.
1
To activate the ECO mode, press the ECO button (Fig. 14). The green ECO light goes on.
2
To deactivate the ECO mode, press the ECO button again. The green ECO light goes out.
Safety auto-off mode (specific types only)
-
To save energy, the appliance switches off automatically when it has not been used for 5 minutes. The
auto-off light in the on/off button starts to flash.
-
To activate the appliance again, press the on/off button. The appliance then starts to heat up again.
Warning: Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains. Always unplug
the appliance after use.
Cleaning and maintenance
Smart Calc-Clean System
Your appliance has been designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to ensure that descaling and cleaning
is done regularly. This helps to maintain a strong steam performance and prevents dirt and stains coming
out of the soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the steam generator gives
regular reminders.
Sound and light Calc-Clean reminder
After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean light starts flashing and the appliance starts beeping to indicate
that you have to perform the Calc-Clean process (Fig. 15).
Besides that, a second defense step to protect the steam generator from scale is integrated: the steam
function gets disabled if descaling is not done (Fig. 16). After descaling is done, the steam function will be
restored. This takes place regardless of the type of water used.
Note: The Calc-Clean process can be performed at any time, even when the sound and light reminder is not
activated yet.
Performing the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container
Warning: Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-Clean process.
Caution: Always perform the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container. Do not interrupt the
process by lifting the iron up from the Calc-Clean container, as hot water and steam will come out of
the soleplate.
1
Fill up the water tank halfway (Fig. 17).
Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during the Calc-Clean process.
2
Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even, stable surface (Fig. 18).
3
Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container (Fig. 19).
