IMPORTANT - Cleaning and maintenance
IMPORTANT - Descaling the steam generator
To ensure a long life for your steam generator, it is very important that 
you perform the descaling procedure when the EASY DE-CALC light 
starts to flash. 
 - The EASY DE-CALC light starts flashing after approx. one month or 
10 ironing sessions to indicate that the steam generator needs to be 
descaled. To descale the steam generator, perform the steps below. 
Never remove the EASY DE-CALC knob when the steam generator  
is hot.
 1 
 Press the on/off button to switch off the steam generator and 
remove the plug from the wall socket.
 2 
 Place the steam generator on a stable table with the EASY  
DE-CALC knob sticking out beyond the edge of the table or  
take the steam generator to a sink. 
 3 
 Hold a cup under the EASY DE-CALC knob. Turn the EASY  
DE-CALC knob anti-clockwise and let the water with scale particles 
flow into the cup. When no more water comes out of the steam 
generator, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob. Turn the knob 
clockwise to fasten it and put the plug back into the socket again.
You can now use the steam generator again.
