However, if you live in an area with hard water, fast scale build- up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water (50% demineralized/distilled water mixed with water could be used as well) to prolong the lifetime of the appliance. Do not add perfume, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals, as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your appliance.7 ENGLISH Filling the water tank Fill the water tank before every use or when the ‘water tank empty’ light ashes.

These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolens (e.g. polypropylene), but also prints on garments. During ironing, you can place the iron either on the iron platform or horizontally on the ironing board. Thanks to the OptimalTEMP technology, the soleplate will not damage the ironing board cover.

IMPORTANT - EASY DE-CALC

It is very important to use the EASY DE-CALC function 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 EASY DE-CALC 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 EASY DE- CALC procedure. 1 Removetheplugfromthewallsocket. 2 Placetheapplianceontheedgeofthetabletop. 3 Holdacup(withacapacityofatleast350ml)underthe EASYDE-CALCknobandturntheknobanticlockwise. 4 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scaleparticlesowintothecup. 5 Whennomorewatercomesoutoftheappliance,reinsert theEASYDE-CALCknobandturnitclockwisetofastenit. 6 Youcancontinueusingyourironimmediatelyafter completingtheEASYDE-CALCprocedure.13 ENGLISH IMPORTANT – Descaling the soleplate If you do not use the EASY DE-CALC function regularly, scale particles may build up in the soleplate and brown stains may come out of the soleplate during ironing. In this situation, you need to descale the soleplate by following the procedure below. We advice you to repeat the procedure twice to better clean the soleplate. To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two hours before you descale the soleplate. 1 Removetheplugfromthewallsocket. 2 Placetheapplianceontheedgeofthetabletop. 3 Makesurethatthewatertankisempty. 4 Holdacup(withacapacityofatleast350ml)underthe EASYDE-CALCknobandturntheknobanticlockwise. 5 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scaleparticlesowintothecup. 6 HoldtheapplianceinthepositionthatEASYDE-CALC openingisfacingupandpour900mldistilledwaterinto theopening.
