2 Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even, stable surface.
3 Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container (Fig. 5).
Note: The Calc-Clean container has been designed to collect scale particles and hot water during
the Calc-Clean process. It is perfectly safe to rest the iron on this container during the entire
process.
4 Press and hold the Calc-Clean button for 2 seconds until you hear short beeps (Fig. 6).
5 During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping sound (Fig. 7).
6 When the Calc-Clean process is completed, the iron stops beeping and the CALC-CLEAN light
stops flashing (Fig. 8).
7 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station (Fig. 9).
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. 10).
9 If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 to 7. 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.

Problem
The iron does not
produce any steam.
The Calc-Clean light
flashes. No steam comes
out of the soleplate and/
or the appliance beeps.
The appliance has
switched off.

a loud pumping sound.

Possible cause

You have set the
temperature dial to SYNTH
to 1.
The steam function has
been disabled until you
have performed the Calc-
Clean process.
At the start of your ironing
session, the steam trigger
has not been pressed long
enough.
You have not done or have
not completed the Calc-
Clean process.
The auto shut-off function
is activated automatically
when the appliance has not
been used for more than 5
minutes.
The water tank is empty.
Solution
Turn the temperature dial to 2 or higher.
Perform the Calc-Clean process to restore
the steam function (see chapter 'Cleaning
and maintenance').
Press and hold the steam trigger until
steam comes out. It may take up to 30
seconds until steam comes out.
Perform the Calc-Clean process to enable
the steam function again (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance').
To activate the appliance again, set the on/
off switch to 'off' position and then to 'on'
position. The appliance then starts to heat
up again.
Fill the water tank with water and press
the steam trigger until the pumping sound
becomes softer and steam comes out of
the soleplate.
