stains coming out of the soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the 

appliance 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. 14).
Besides that, a second defense step to protect the appliance from scale is integrated: the steam 

function gets disabled if descaling is not done (Fig. 15). 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.
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.

3 

Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container (Fig. 16).

4 

Press and hold the CALC-CLEAN button for 2 seconds until you hear short beeps (Fig. 17).
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. 18).

6 

Wait approximately 2 minutes for the appliance to complete the process (Fig. 19). 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. 20).

Caution: The iron is hot.

8 

As the Calc-Clean container becomes hot during the Calc-Clean process, wait about 5 minutes 

before you touch it. Then carry the Calc-Clean container to the sink, empty it and store it for future 

use (Fig. 21).

9 

If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 to 8. Make sure that you empty the Calc-Clean container 

before you start the Calc-Clean process.
Note: During the Calc-Clean process, clean water may come out of the soleplate if no scale has 

accumulated inside the iron. This is normal.
