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. Consult the separate quick start guide for instructions on how
to detach the water tank (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 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.
