Cleaning and maintenance

After ironing
1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool
down.
2 Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp
cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact with
metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals
to clean the soleplate.
3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank
after cleaning.
Double-Active Calc System
◗
The anti-calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents.
◗
The anti-calc tablet is constantly active and does not need
replacement.
◗
The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles.
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), the Calc-Clean function should be used more frequently.
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Set the steam control to position 0.
3 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.
4 Select the maximum ironing temperature (fig. 15).
5 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
6 Unplug the iron when the temperature light has gone out.
