Cleaning and maintenance

To properly maintain your appliance, clean the iron and the appliance
regularly.
1 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth. To remove stubborn stains,
you can use a small amount of washing-up liquid.

IMPORTANT - EASY DE-CALC
It is very important to use the EASY DE-CALC function as soon as
the EASY DE-CALC light starts to flash and the appliance beeps
continuously.
The EASY DE-CALC light flashes and the appliance beeps continuously
after about a month or 10 ironing sessions to indicate that the appliance
needs to be descaled. Perform the following EASY DE-CALC procedure
before you continue ironing.
To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for
at least two hours before you perform the EASY DE-CALC procedure.
1 Remove the plug from the wall socket.
2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.
3 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the EASY DE-
CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise.
