Cleaning and maintenance
.
Double-Active Calc System
◗ The anti-calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. The tablet is
constantly active and does not need to be replaced (fig. 11).
◗ The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles.
Calc-Clean function
Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very
hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), the Calc-Clean func-
tion should be used more frequently.
1 Set the steam control to position O.
2 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank..
3 Set the temperature dial to MAX (fig. 12).
4 Put the plug in the wall socket.
5 Unplug the iron when the temperature light has gone out.
6 Hold the iron over the sink and set the steam control to position 1
(Calc-Clean). The steam control knob will spring up slightly.
7 Pull the steam control knob upwards to remove the steam control needle
(fig. 13).
8 Hold the iron over the sink and move it to and fro (fig. 14).
B
Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate. Impurities and scale
(if any) will be flushed out.
9 Use vinegar to remove scale, if any, from the needle (fig. 15).
Do not bend or damage the steam control needle.
10 Put the steam control needle back by inserting the point of the needle exactly
in the centre of the hole and by fitting the small projection on the side of the
needle into the slot. Set the steam control knob to position O (fig. 16).
11 Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
After the Calc-Clean process
1 Plug the iron in to let the soleplate dry up.
2 Unplug the iron when the temperature light has gone out.
3 Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains
that may have formed on the soleplate.
Storage
.
1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket, let the iron cool down and set
the steam control to position O.
2 Clean the appliance and wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate
with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid hard contact with metal objects.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals.
3 Regurarly rinse the water tank with water and empty it after cleaning (fig. 17).
4 Wind the mains cord round the cord storage facility (fig. 18).
5 Always store the iron standing on its heel in a safe and dry place.
Environment
.
◗ Do not throw the appliance away with the normal household waste at the end of
its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this you
will help to preserve the environment (fig. 19).
