These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolens (e.g. polypropylene), but also prints on garments (Fig. 5). Recommended water to use: distilled or demineralised water Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. If you live in an area with hard water, fast scale build-up may occur. It is therefore recommended to use distilled or demineralised water to prolong the lifetime of your appliance. Do not use perfumed water, 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. Ironing Please read the quick start guide on the packaging carefully to start using your appliance. Note: Keep the steam trigger pressed continuously when you move the iron over the fabric while you iron.7 IMPORTANT - 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 avoids dirt and stains coming out of the soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the steam generator gives regular reminders. Besides that, a second defence step to protect the steam generator from scale is integrated: the steam function gets disabled if descaling is not done after 1 hour steam ironing once the reminder came up. After descaling is done, the steam function will be restored. This takes place regardless of the type of water used. Sound and light Calc-Clean reminder - After 1 to 3 months of use, the light of the Calc-Clean button starts ashing and the appliance starts beeping to indicate that you have to perform the Calc-Clean process (Fig. 6). - You can continue steam ironing for 1 hour while the Calc-Clean light ashes and the appliance beeps. After 1 hour, the steam function is automatically disabled. You have to perform the Calc-Clean process before you can continue steam ironing. (Fig. 7) Performing the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-Clean process. Always perform the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container. 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 Fill up the water tank halfway (Fig. 8). Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during the Calc-Clean process. 2 Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even, stable surface (Fig. 9). 3 Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container (Fig 10). 4 Press and hold the CALC-CLEAN button for 2 seconds until you hear short beeps (Fig. 11) Note: The Calc-Clean container has been designed to collect scale particles and hot water during the Calc-Clean process. It is perfectly safe to rest the iron on this container during the entire process. 5 During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping sound (Fig.12) 6 Wait approximately 2 minutes for the appliance to complete process. When the Calc-Clean process is completed, the iron stops beeping and the CALC-CLEAN light stops ashing (Fig. 13). 7 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth (Fig. 14). Put the iron back on the base station. Caution: The iron is hot. 8 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 15). ENGLISH8 9 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.
