You can remove scale by following the instructions below:

soleplate (see section 'IMPORTANT - Descaling the
steam generator').

into the opening. Reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob
and turn the knob clockwise to fasten it.

your iron on the cloth, press and hold the steam trigger.
While pressing the steam trigger, slowly move the iron
back and forth across the cloth until no water comes
out anymore or when steam comes out.
Hot, dirty water comes out of the soleplate.

2 hours.
6 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water
flow into a cup. Reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob and
