Calc-Clean System
- The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. This
tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced.
- The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.
- The Calc-Clean reminder light reminds you to use the Calc-Clean
function after a certain period of use.
Tip: Use the Calc-Clean function every month (for specific types only, without
the Calc-Clean reminder light).
Calc-Clean reminder light (specific types only)
- After a certain period of use, the colour of the SmartLight changes to
amber. Then you need to perform the Calc-Clean process.
Tip: If the water in your area is hard (e.g. when flakes come out of the
soleplate during ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.
Note: The SmartLight resets itself automatically and lights up blue the next
time you plug in the iron, even if you have not performed the Calc-Clean
process.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.
Using the Calc-Clean function
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Set the steam slider to 'no steam'.
3 Fill the water tank to the MAX level.
4 Insert the plug in an earthed wall socket.
5 Wait for the SmartLight to light up steadily, then unplug the iron.
6 Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the Calc-Clean button
and gently shake the iron to and fro.
Note: Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Impurities and flakes
(if any) are flushed out.
7 Release the Calc-Clean button as soon as all the water in the tank
has been used up.
8 Repeat steps 1 to 7.
After the Calc-Clean process
1 Put the plug back into the wall socket, and let the iron heat up to let
the soleplate dry.
2 When the SmartLight lights up steadily, move the iron gently over a
piece of used cloth to remove any water stains that may have formed
on the soleplate.
3 Unplug the iron and let it cool down before you store it.
