Cleaning and maintenance
After ironing
1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the iron
cool down.
2 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, you should avoid hard contact with
metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to
clean the soleplate.
3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water
tank after cleaning.
Calc-Clean function
You can use the Calc-Clean function to remove scale and impurities.
◗ 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 function should be used
more frequently.
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2 Set the steam control to position 0.
3 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.

7 Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the Calc-Clean
button and gently shake the iron.
Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate. Impurities and
flakes (if any) will be flushed out.
8 Release the Calc-Clean button 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.
