Press and hold the CALC-CLEAN button for 2 seconds until you hear short beeps
(Fig. 21).
Note: The Calc-Clean container has been designed to collect scale particles and hot water during the
Calc-Clean process. It is perfectly safe to rest the iron on this container during the entire process.

During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping sound
(Fig. 22).

As the Calc-Clean container becomes hot during the Calc-Clean process, wait approx. 5 minutes before
you touch it. Then carry the Calc-Clean container to the sink, empty it and store it for future use
(Fig. 25).

If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 to 8. Make sure that you empty the Calc-Clean container before you
start the Calc-Clean process.
Note: During the Calc-Clean process, clean water may come out of the soleplate if no scale has
accumulated inside the iron. This is normal.
