power supply system with a maximum

impedance of 0.27 Ω. If necessary, the

user can ask the public power supply

company for the system impedance at

the interface point.

Multiple descaling system (7)

Depending on the model, this range

is equipped with the “AntiCalc”

(=component 1 + 2 + 3).

Each time you use the steam regulator,

the “self-clean” system cleans the

mechanism of scale deposits.

The “calc’n clean” function helps to

remove scale particles out of the

steam chamber. Use this function

approximately every 2 weeks, if the

water in your area is very hard.

Fill the water tank, set the temperature

control dial to the “max”. position and

After the necessary warm-up period,

unplug the iron and hold it over a sink.

Position the steam regulator to the

"calc’n clean" position and keep it in

this position. Gently shake the iron.

Boiling water and steam will come out,

carrying scale or deposits that might

be there. When the iron stops dripping,

position the steam regulator to the

position. For improved de-scaling,

heat up the iron again fully and press

the steam button several times in

quick succession. Then wait until the

remaining water has evaporated from

the soleplate of the iron.

The “anti-calc” cartridge has been

designed to reduce the build-up of

scale produced during steam ironing,

helping to extend the useful life of

your iron. Nevertheless the “anti-calc”

cartridge cannot remove all of the

scale that is produced naturally over

“Secure”autoshut-off

The "Secure" auto shut-off function

switches off the iron when it is left

unattended, thus increasing security

To keep the soleplate smooth, you

should avoid hard contact with metal

objects. Never use a scouring pad, or

chemicals to clean the soleplate.

Never decalcify the tank or treat it with

detergents or solvents: otherwise the

iron will drip water whilst steaming!

Tips to help you save

Steam production consumes the most

energy. To help minimise the energy

used, follow the advice below:

• Start by ironing the fabrics that require

the lowest ironing temperature.

Check the recommended ironing

temperature in the label on the

• Regulate the steam according to

the selected ironing temperature,

following the instructions in this ma-

• Try to Iron the fabrics while they are

still damp and reduce the steam

setting. Steam will be generated

from the fabrics rather than the iron.

If you tumble dry your fabrics before

ironing them, set the tumble drier on

the ‘iron dry’ programme.

• If the fabrics are damp enough, turn

off the steam regulator completely.

• Stand the iron upright during

pauses. Resting it horizontally with

the steam regulator on generates
