Cleaning and maintenance

Smart Calc-Clean System
Your appliance has been designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to ensure that descaling and
cleaning is done regularly. This helps to maintain a strong steam performance and prevents dirt and
stains coming out of the soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the
steam generator gives regular reminders.
Sound and light Calc-Clean reminder
After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean light starts flashing and the appliance starts beeping to
indicate that you have to perform the Calc-Clean process (Fig. 3).
Tip: You can continue to dry iron by not pressing the steam trigger.
Besides that, a second defense step to protect the steam generator from scale is integrated: the steam
function gets disabled if descaling is not done. After descaling is done, the steam function will be
restored. This takes place regardless of the type of water used.
Note: The Calc-Clean process can be performed at any time, even when the sound and light reminder
is not activated yet.
Performing the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean
container
Warning: Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-Clean process.
Caution: Do not interrupt the process by lifting the iron up from the Calc-Clean container, as hot
water and steam will come out of the soleplate.
1 Fill up the water tank halfway (Fig. 4).
Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during the Calc-Clean process.
2 Turn the temperature dial to CALC-CLEAN (Fig. 5).
