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.
