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 Remove the plug from the wall socket.
2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.
3 Make sure that the water tank is empty.
4 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the
EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise.
5 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with
scale particles flow into the cup.
6 Hold the appliance in the position that EASY DE-CALC
opening is facing up and pour 900ml distilled water into
the opening.
Note: Be mindful on the heavy weight of the appliance when
you tilt it.
