Cleaning and maintenance

Remove the mains plug from the wall socket, set the steam control to position 0 and let the iron 

cool down before you clean it.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.

after ironing

  1 

 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.

  2 

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

  3 

 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after you have rinsed it.

Double-active Calc System

The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the water tank combined with 

the Calc-Clean function.

1  The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. This tablet is constantly active 

and does not need to be replaced.

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

using the 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 

 Fill the water tank to the maximum level. 

Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.

  2 

 Set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 18).

  3 

 Put the plug in an earthed wall socket.

  4 

 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.

  5 

 Hold the iron over the sink. Push the steam control to the Calc-Clean position and hold it. 

Gently shake the iron to and fro (Fig. 19).

,

Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Impurities and flakes (if any) are flushed 

out.

  6 

 Release the steam control as soon as all the water in the tank has been used up.

Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.

after the Calc-Clean process

  1 

 Put the plug in the wall socket and let the iron heat up to let the soleplate dry.

  2 

 Unplug the iron when it has reached the set ironing temperature.

  3 

 Move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains that may 

have formed on the soleplate. 

  4 

 Let the iron cool down before you store it.
