6 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water
with scale particles flow into the cup.
7 When no more water comes out of the steam
generator, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn it
clockwise to tighten it.
Never remove the EASY DE-CALC knob when the steam
generator is hot.
Make sure the EASY DE-CALC knob is properly tightened
after descaling.
Tip: You can also take the steam generator to a sink and place it
in such a way that the EASY DE-CALC knob points towards the
sink.
Note: This steam generator is specially designed to easily
and effectively remove scale together with the water. It is not
necessary to shake or tilt the steam generator.
Descaling the soleplate of the iron
If you do not descale your steam generator regularly when
the EASY DE-CALC light goes ON, scale starts building up
inside the supply hose, the iron and the soleplate. This may
cause brown spots on your clothes due to scale particles. You
can still remove the scale by following the instructions below.
1 Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
2 Tilt the steam generator and remove the EASY DE-
CALC knob. Fill the water tank with 500ml distilled
water and tighten the EASY DE-CALC knob.
