Regularly rinse the water tank with water.

Empty the water tank after cleaning.
Double-Active Calc System

The anti-calc tablet prevents scale from

clogging the steam vents (Fig. 11).

The anti-calc tablet is constantly active and

does not need replacement.

The Calc-Clean function removes the scale

particles (Fig. 12).
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), you should use the Calc-Clean function

more frequently.

Set the steam control to position O.

Set the temperature dial to MAX.

Fill the water tank to the maximum level.

Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents

into the water tank.

Put the plug in the wall socket.

Unplug the iron when the temperature light

has gone out.

Hold the iron over the sink and set the steam

control to the Calc-Clean position x. (Fig. 13)

Pull the steam control slightly upwards and

gently shake the iron until all water in the

tank has been used up.

Steam and boiling water will come out of the

soleplate. Scale (if any) will be flushed out.

After having used the Calc-Clean function,

press the steam control back to its original

position and set it to position O.

Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the water coming

out of the iron still contains scale particles.

After the Calc-Clean process

Connect the iron to the mains to let the

soleplate dry.

Unplug the iron when the light has gone out.

Move the iron gently over a piece of used

cloth to remove any water stains that may

have formed on the soleplate.

Let the iron cool down before you store it.

Cleaning the steam control needle

Pull the steam control out of the

appliance. (Fig. 12)

Use vinegar to remove scale, if any, from the

needle (Fig. 14).

Do not bend or damage the steam control

needle.

Reinsert the steam control needle by

placing the point of the needle exactly in the

centre of the hole and by fitting the small

projection on the side of the needle into the

slot (Fig. 15).

Set the steam control to position O.

Storage

Make sure the appliance is unplugged and set

the steam control to position O.

Empty the water tank (Fig. 16).

Wind the mains cord round the cord storage

facility.

Store the iron on its heel in a safe and dry

place (Fig. 17).

Environment
Do not throw the appliance away with the

normal household waste at the end of its life,

but hand it in at an official collection point

for recycling. By doing this you will help to

preserve the environment (Fig. 18).
