Your appliance has been designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to
ensure that descaling and cleaning is done regularly. This helps to maintain
a strong steam performance and prevents dirt and stains coming out of the
soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the
steam generator gives regular reminders.
After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean light starts flashing and the
appliance starts beeping to indicate that you have to perform the Calc-
Clean process.
