Cleaning the soleplate

5 During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping
sound.
6 Wait approximately 2 minutes for the appliance to complete the
process. When the Calc-Clean process is completed, the iron stops
beeping and the CALC-CLEAN light stops lashing.
7 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station.
Caution: The iron is hot.
8 As the Calc-Clean container becomes hot during the Calc-Clean
process, wait approx. 5 minutes before you touch it. Then carry the
Calc-Clean container to the sink, empty it and store it for future use.
9 If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 to 8. Make sure that you empty the
Calc-Clean container before you start the Calc-Clean process.
Note: During the Calc-Clean process, clean water may come out of the
soleplate if no scale has accumulated inside the iron. This is normal.
For more information on how to carry out the Calc-Clean process, refer to
the videos in this link: http://www.philips.com/descaling-iron.
To properly maintain your appliance, clean it regularly.
1 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth.
2 To easily and efectively remove stains, let the soleplate heat up and
move the iron over a moist cloth.
Tip: Clean the soleplate regularly to ensure smooth gliding.
