IMPORTANT - Cleaning and maintenance
IMPORTANT - Descaling the steam generator
To ensure a long life for your steam generator, it is very important that
you perform the descaling procedure when the EASY DE-CALC light
starts to flash.
- The EASY DE-CALC light starts flashing after approx. one month or
10 ironing sessions to indicate that the steam generator needs to be
descaled. To descale the steam generator, perform the steps below.
Never remove the EASY DE-CALC knob when the steam generator is hot.
1 Press the on/off button to switch off the steam generator and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
2 Place the steam generator on a stable table with the
EASY DE-CALC knob sticking out beyond the edge of the table or
take the steam generator to a sink.
3 Hold a cup under the EASY DE-CALC knob. Turn the
EASY DE-CALC knob anti-clockwise and let the water with scale
particles flow into the cup. When no more water comes out of the
steam generator, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob. Turn the knob
clockwise to fasten it and put the plug back into the socket again.
You can now use the steam generator again.
