IMPORTANT - DESCALING

It is very important to perform the descaling procedure as soon as the EASY DE-CALC light starts to ash and the appliance beeps continuously. The EASY DE-CALC light ashes and the appliance beeps continuously after about a month or 10 ironing sessions to indicate that the appliance needs to be descaled. Perform the following descaling procedure before you continue ironing. To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two hours before you perform the descaling procedure. 1 Remove the plug from the wall socket. 2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop. 3 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise. 4 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scale particlesowintothecup. 5 When no more water comes out of the appliance, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn it clockwise to fasten it.
