If the temperature of the soleplate has dropped below the set
,
ironing temperature, the amber temperature light goes on.
2 If the amber temperature light goes on after you have moved the
iron, wait for it to go out before you start ironing.
Note: If the amber temperature light does not go on after you move the iron,
the soleplate still has the right temperature and the iron is ready for use.
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.
2 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 you have rinsed it.
Double-active Calc system
- The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. This
tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced.
- The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.
using the Calc-Clean function
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 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Set the steam control to position 0.
3 Fill the water tank to the MAX level.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.
