Calc-clean function

You can use the calc-clean function to remove scale and impurities.
◗ 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), the calc-clean function should be used more
frequently.
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Set the steam control to position 0.
3 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.

4 Select the maximum ironing temperature.
5 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
6 Unplug the iron when the amber temperature light has gone
out.

7 Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the calc-clean
button and gently shake the iron to and fro.
Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate. Impurities and
flakes (if any) will be flushed out.
8 Release the calc-clean button as soon as all the water in the
tank has been used up.
Repeat the calc-clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.

After the calc-clean process

- Put the plug in the wall socket and let the iron heat up to allow the
soleplate to dry.
- Unplug the iron when it has reached the set ironing temperature.
- Move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any
water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.
- Let the iron cool down before you store it.
