Vertical ironing
Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles from
a garment while someone is wearing it (Fig. 12). Do not apply steam near your or
someone else's hand.
You can use the steam iron in vertical position to remove wrinkles from hanging fabrics.
1
Hold the iron in vertical position, press the steam trigger and touch the garment lightly with the
soleplate and move the iron up and down (Fig. 13).
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. 6). The OptimalTEMP technology ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing
board cover.

Cleaning and maintenance
Descaling the appliance
It is very important to use the EASY DECALC function as soon as the ‘EASY DECALC’ light starts to flash
(Fig. 15).
The ‘EASY DECALC’ light flashes after about a month or 10 ironing sessions to indicate that the
appliance needs to be descaled. Perform the following EASY DECALC procedure before you continue
ironing.
Note: If your water is hard, increase the descaling frequency.
Warning: To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at
least two hours before you perform the EASY DECALC procedure (Fig. 16).
