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 (Fig. 25).
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:
