ENGLISH

The EASY DE-CALC light flashes and the appliance beeps continuously after about 
a month or 10 ironing sessions to indicate that the appliance needs to be descaled. 
Perform the following EASY DE-CALC procedure before you continue ironing.

To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two 

hours before you perform the EASY DE-CALC procedure.

 1 

 Remove the plug from the wall socket (Fig. 13).

 2 

 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.

 3 

 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the EASY DE-CALC knob and 

turn the knob anticlockwise (Fig. 14).

 4 

 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scale particles flow into the 

cup (Fig. 15).

 5 

 When no more water comes out of the appliance, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob 

and turn it clockwise to fasten it (Fig. 16).

 6 

 You can continue using your iron immediately after completing the EASY DE-CALC 

procedure.

IMPORTANT – Descaling the soleplate

If you do not use the EASY DE-CALC function regularly, scale particles may build up in 

the soleplate and brown stains may come out of the soleplate during ironing. In this 

situation, you need to descale the soleplate by following the procedure below. We 

advice you to repeat the procedure twice to better clean the soleplate. 
To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two 

hours before you descale the soleplate. 

 1 

 Remove the plug from the wall socket (Fig. 13).

 2 

 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.

 3 

 Make sure that the water tank is empty. 

 4 

 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the EASY DE-CALC knob and 

turn the knob anticlockwise (Fig. 14).

 5 

 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scale particles flow into the 

cup (Fig. 15).

 6 

 Hold the appliance in the position that EASY DE-CALC opening is facing up and pour 

900ml distilled water into the opening (Fig. 17).

Note: Be mindful on the heavy weight of the appliance when you tilt it.

 7 

 Keep the EASY DE-CALC opening facing up, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob and 

turn it clockwise to fasten it (Fig. 18).

 8 

 Put the appliance back on a stable and even surface. Plug in the appliance and 

switch it on (Fig. 19).
