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.
4 Set the temperature dial to MAX.
5 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
6 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.
7 Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the Calc-Clean button
and gently shake the iron to and fro.
Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Impurities and
,
flakes (if any) are flushed out.
8 Release the Calc-Clean button as soon as all the water in the tank
has been used up.
9 Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of
impurities.
After the Calc-Clean process
1 Put the plug back into the wall socket and let the iron heat up to let
the soleplate dry.
2 Unplug the iron when it has reached the set ironing temperature.
3 Move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any
water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.
4 Let the iron cool down before you store it.
Storage
1 Set the steam control to position 0 and unplug the iron.
2 Empty the water tank.
3 Let the iron cool down in a safe place.
