Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

  1 

 Set the steam control to position 0, remove the plug from the wall 

socket and let the iron cool down. 

  2 

 Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp 

cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.

To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects. 

Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the 

soleplate.

  3 

 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.

  4 

 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank 

after you have rinsed it (Fig. 9).

Double-active Calc system (specific types only)

Note: Refer to chapter  ‘General description’ for the specific type numbers.

The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the 

water tank combined with the Calc-Clean function.

 - The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. 

The tablet is constantly active and does not need to be 

replaced (Fig. 10).

 - The Calc-Clean function removes scale par ticles from the iron.

Calc-Clean function

Use the Calc-Clean function once ever y two weeks. If the water in your 

area is ver y hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during 

ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.

  1 

 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.

  2 

 Set the steam control to position 0. 

  3 

 Fill the water tank to the maximum level. 

Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.

  4 

 Set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 11).
