Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning
1 Unplug the iron and let it cool down.
2 Pour any remaining water out of the water tank from the
water filling door.
3 Wipe flakes and any other deposit 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.
Calc clean function
IMPORTANT: This iron comes with a Built-in calc container,
which collects loose scale particles during ironing. The calc
container is not meant for removal by the user. The scale
particles are flushed out of the iron during calc clean process.
Perform calc clean once every 1 month to maintain good
steam performance and prolong the life of your iron. If water
in your area is hard, or you see scales coming out from the
soleplate during ironing, use calc clean more frequently.
1 Make sure the iron is unplugged and the steam slider is set
to dry setting.
2 Fill the water tank to the MAX indication.
Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.
3 Plug in the iron and set the temperature dial to MAX.

5 Hold the iron over the sink. Keep pushing the calc clean
button and gently shake the iron forth and back until all
water in the water tank has been used up.
Scales is flushed out, steam and boiling water also come out
of the soleplate.
