IMPORTANT - Cleaning and maintenance
Smart Calc-Clean System
Your appliance has been designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to ensure that descaling and
cleaning is done regularly.This helps to maintain a strong steam performance and avoids dirt and
stains coming out of the soleplate over time.To ensure that the cleaning process is performed,
the steam generator gives regular reminders. Besides that, a second defence step to protect the
steam generator from scale is integrated: the steam function gets disabled if descaling is not done
after 1 hour steam ironing once the reminder came up.After descaling is done, the steam function
will be restored.This takes place regardless of the type of water used.
Sound and light Calc-Clean reminder
- After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean light starts ashing and the appliance starts beeping
to indicate that you have to perform the Calc-Clean process (Fig. 4).
- You can continue steam ironing for 1 hour while the Calc-Clean light ashes and the appliance
beeps.After 1 hour, the steam function is automatically disabled.You have to perform the
Calc-Clean process before you can continue steam ironing. (Fig. 5)
Tip:You can continue to dry iron by not pressing the steam trigger.
Performing the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container
Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-Clean process.
Caution: 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 (Fig. 6).
2 Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during the Calc-Clean process
(Fig. 7).
3 Turn the temperature dial to CALC CLEAN (Fig. 8).
4 Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even, stable surface (Fig. 9).
5 Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container.
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.
6 Press and hold the Calc-Clean button for 2 seconds until you hear short beeps (Fig. 10).
7 During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping sound.Wait
approximately 2 minutes for the appliance to complete the process (Fig. 11).
8 When the Calc-Clean process is completed, the iron stops beeping (Fig. 12).
9 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station (Fig. 13).
10 As the Calc-Clean container becomes hot during the Calc-Clean process, wait approx.
5 minutes before you touch it.
11 Carry the Calc-Clean container to the sink, empty it and store it for future use (Fig. 14).
12 If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 to 11. 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.
