Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
1 Set the steam control to position 0, remove the plug from the wall
socket and let the iron cool down.
 Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp
cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the
soleplate.
3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank
after cleaning.
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),
use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.
1 Set the steam control to position 0, remove the plug from the wall
socket and let the iron cool down.
 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.
