Energy saving

Eco mode

By using the ECO mode (reduced amount of steam), you can save energy without compromising on the ironing result.

1 

To activate the ECO mode, press the ECO button (Fig. 14). The green ECO light goes on.

2 

To deactivate the ECO mode, press the ECO button again. The green ECO light goes out.

Safety auto-off mode (specific types only)

- To save energy, the appliance switches off automatically when it has not been used for 5 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

Smart Calc-Clean System 

Your appliance has been designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to ensure that descaling and cleaning is done 
regularly. This helps to maintain a strong steam performance and prevents dirt and stains coming out of the soleplate 
over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the steam generator gives regular reminders.

Sound and light Calc-Clean reminder

After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean light starts flashing and the appliance starts beeping to indicate that you have 
to perform the Calc-Clean process (Fig. 15).
Besides that, a second defense step to protect the steam generator from scale is integrated: the steam function gets 
disabled if descaling is not done (Fig. 16). After descaling is done, the steam function will be restored. This takes place 
regardless of the type of water used.

Note: The Calc-Clean process can be performed at any time, even when the sound and light reminder is not activated yet.

Performing the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container

Warning: Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-Clean process.

Caution: Always perform the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container. Do not interrupt the process by lifting 

the iron up from the Calc-Clean container, as hot water and steam will come out of the soleplate.
1 

Fill up the water tank halfway (Fig. 17).

Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during the Calc-Clean process.

2 

Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even, stable surface (Fig. 18).

3 

Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container (Fig. 19).

4 

Press and hold the CALC-CLEAN button for 2 seconds until you hear short beeps (Fig. 20).
Note: The Calc-Clean container has been designed to collect scale particles and hot water during the Calc-Clean 
process. It is perfectly safe to rest the iron on this container during the entire process.

5 

During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping sound (Fig. 21).

6 

Wait approximately 2 minutes for the appliance to complete the process (Fig. 22). When the Calc-Clean process is 
completed, the iron stops beeping and the CALC-CLEAN light stops flashing.

7 

Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station (Fig. 23).

Caution: The iron is hot.
