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 Fillup the water tank halfway (Fig. 4) Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during the Calc-Clean process. 2 Tu the temperature dial to CALC-CLEAN (Fi. 5)

3 Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even, stable surface.

4 Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container (Fig. 6)

Note: The Calc-Clean container has been designed to collect scale particles and hot water during the Calc-Clean process. Itis perfectly safe to rest the iron on this container during the entire process.

5 Press and hold the Calc-Clean button for 2 seconds until you hear short beeps (Fig. 7)

6 During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping sound (Fig. 8).

7 When the Calc-Clean process is completed, the iron stops beeping and the CALC-CLEAN light stops flashing (Fig. 2)

8 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station (Fig. 10).

9 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. 11)

10 If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 to 8. 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
