Vertical ironing
Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles
from a garment while someone is wearing it (Fig. 11). Do not apply steam near your or
someone else's hand.
You can use the steam iron in vertical position to remove wrinkles from hanging fabrics.
1 Hold the iron in vertical position, press the steam trigger and touch the garment lightly with the
soleplate and move the iron up and down (Fig. 12).
Safe rest
Resting the iron while rearranging your garment
While rearranging your garment, you can rest the iron either on the iron platform or horizontally on the
ironing board (Fig. 2). The OptimalTEMP technology ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing

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 prevents dirt and
stains coming out of the soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the
appliance gives regular reminders.
Sound and light Calc-Clean reminder
After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean light starts flashing and the appliance starts beeping to
indicate that you have to perform the Calc-Clean process (Fig. 13).
Besides that, a second defense step to protect the appliance from scale is integrated: the steam
function gets disabled if descaling is not done (Fig. 14). After descaling is done, the steam function will
be restored. This takes place regardless of the type of water used.
Note: The Calc-Clean process can be performed at any time, even when the sound and light reminder
is not activated yet.
