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. 6). The OptimalTEMP technology ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing
board cover.
Energy saving
Auto-shut off
- To save energy, the appliance switches off automatically when it has not been used for 10 minutes. The
auto-off light in the on/off button starts to flash.
- To activate the appliance again, press the on/off button. The appliance then starts to heat up again.
Warning: Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains. Always unplug
the appliance after use.
Cleaning and maintenance
Descaling the appliance
It is very important to use the EASY DECALC function as soon as the 'EASY DECALC' light starts to flash
(Fig. 14).
The 'EASY DECALC' light flashes after about a month or 10 ironing sessions to indicate that the appliance
needs to be descaled. Perform the following EASY DECALC procedure before you continue ironing.
Note: If your water is hard, increase the descaling frequency.
Warning: To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two
hours before you perform the EASY DECALC procedure (Fig. 15).
1 Remove the plug from the wall socket.
2 Remove the detachable water tank (Fig. 2).
3 Remove the iron from the iron platform.
4 Hold and shake the base of the steam generator (Fig. 16).
5 Remove the EASY DECALC knob (Fig. 17).
6 Hold the base of the steam generator over the sink and empty it through the EASY DECALC opening
(Fig. 18).
Note: Be mindful on the heavy weight of the appliance when you tilt it.
7 Reinsert the EASY DECALC knob and turn it clockwise to fasten it (Fig. 19).
8 You can continue using your iron immediately after completing the EASY DECALC procedure.
Descaling the soleplate
If you do not descale your appliance regularly, you may see brown stains coming out of the soleplate due
to scale particles. Descale the soleplate by following the procedure below. We advise you to perform the
procedure twice for better results.
1 Make sure the appliance is cool and clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
2 Remove the water tank and iron from the iron platform.
3 Remove the EASY DECALC knob and empty the water through the EASY DECALC opening.
4 Hold the appliance in the position that the EASY DECALC opening is facing up and pour 500ml water
into the opening via a bottle or cup. (Fig. 20).
Note: Do not fill the boiler with water under the running tap.
