Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
1
Set the steam control to position O, remove the plug from the wall socket and
let the iron cool down.
2
Pour any remaining water out of the water tank.
3
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.
4
Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
5
Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after you
have rinsed it (Fig. 12).
Double-Active Calc System (specific types only)
Note: See chapter 'General description' for the type numbers that are equipped with the
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.
-
The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. The tablet is
constantly active and does not need to be replaced (Fig. 13).
-
The Calc-Clean function removes scale particles from the iron.
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.
2
Set the steam control to position O.
3
Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.
4
Set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 14).
5
Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
6
Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.
7
Hold the iron over the sink and turn the steam control to the Calc-Clean
position x. (Fig. 15)
8
Pull the steam control slightly upwards and gently shake the iron until all water
in the tank has been used up (Fig. 16).
Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Scale (if any) is flushed out.
,
9
After you have used the Calc-Clean function, press down the steam control
while you turn it to position O. (Fig. 17)
Note: Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the water that comes out of the iron still contains
scale particles.
After the Calc-Clean process
1
Put the plug in the wall socket and let the iron heat up to let the soleplate dry.
2
Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.
3
Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains
that may have formed on the soleplate.
4
Let the iron cool down before you store it.
Cleaning the steam control needle
1
Pull the steam control out of the appliance. (Fig. 18)
2
Use vinegar to remove scale, if any, from the needle (Fig. 19).
Do not bend or damage the steam control needle.
3
Reinsert the steam control. Place the point of the needle exactly in the centre
of the hole and fit the small projection on the side of the needle into the
slot (Fig. 20).
4
Set the steam control to position O.
Storage
1
Set the steam control to position O and remove the plug from the wall socket.
2
Wind the mains cord round the cord storage facility (Fig. 21).
3
Specific types only: put the iron in the heat-resistant storage cover and fasten
the cover with the Velcro strips (Fig. 22).
3
Note: If you use the heat-resistant soleplate cover, you do not have to let the iron cool
down first. If you want to store the iron without the soleplate cover, let it cool down first.
Environment
-
