Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
1 Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp
cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the
soleplate.
 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank
after you have rinsed it.
Double-active Calc System
The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the
water tank combined with the Calc-Clean function.
1 The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents.
This tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced.
2 The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.
using the Calc-Clean function
Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your
area is very hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during
ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
 Set the steam control to position 0.
 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.
 Set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 14).
5 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.
6 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.
