Calc clean function

IMPORTANT: This iron comes with a Built-in calc container, which collects loose scale particles during ironing. 

The calc container is not meant for removal by the user. The scale particles are flushed out of the iron during 

calc clean process. Perform calc clean once every 1 month to maintain good steam performance and prolong 

the life of your iron. If water in your area is hard, or you see scales coming out from the soleplate during 

ironing, use calc clean more frequently.
