not completed the Calc-Clean

used for more than 5 minutes.
The water tank is empty.

remaining water may drip out
of the soleplate.

deposited in the steam vents
and/or soleplate.

Solution

comes out.
Perform the Calc-Clean process to restore the
steam function. (see chapter ' Cleaning and

Press and hold the steam trigger until steam
comes out. It may take up to 30 seconds until

up again.
Fill the water tank with water and press
the steam trigger until the pumping sound
becomes softer and steam comes out of the

If the Calc-Clean light still flashes and the
appliance still beeps, perform the Calc-
Clean process (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').

ready' light lights up steadily.
