Cleaning The Soleplate - Philips FastCare Compact GC6700 Série Mode D'emploi

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. 16).
6 Wait approximately 2 minutes for the appliance to complete the process (Fig. 17). When the
Calc-Clean process is completed, the iron stops beeping and the CALC-CLEAN light stops flashing.
7 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station (Fig. 18).
Caution: The iron is hot.
8 As the Calc-Clean container becomes hot during the Calc-Clean process, wait about 5 minutes
before you touch it. Then carry the Calc-Clean container to the sink, empty it and store it for future
use (Fig. 19).
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.
