Descaling the soleplate
If you do not descale your appliance regularly, you may see brown stains coming out of the soleplate
due to scale particles. Descale the soleplate by following the procedure below. We advise you to
perform the procedure twice for better results.
1 Make sure the appliance is cool and clean the soleplate with a damp cloth.
2 Remove the water tank and iron from the iron platform.
3 Remove the EASY DECALC knob and empty the water through the EASY DECALC opening.
4 Hold the appliance in the position that the EASY DECALC opening is facing up and pour 500ml
water into the opening (Fig. 21).
Note: Be mindful on the heavy weight of the appliance when you tilt it.
5 Keep the EASY DECALC opening facing up, reinsert the EASY DECALC knob and turn it clockwise to
fasten it (Fig. 22).
6 Put the appliance back on a stable and even surface. Fill up the water tank halfway. Switch on the
appliance and wait for 5 minutes.
7 Keep the steam trigger pressed continuously while you iron a few pieces of thick cloth in a back-
and-forth motion for 3 minutes (Fig. 23).
Warning: Hot, dirty water (about 100-150 ml) comes out of the soleplate.
8 Stop cleaning when no more water comes out of the soleplate or when steam starts coming out of
the soleplate.
9 You can continue to use the appliance immediately. Otherwise unplug the appliance after the
descaling is completed.
Storage
1 Switch o the appliance and unplug it.
Note: it is recommended to empty the water tank after every use.
2 Place the iron on the iron platform and lock it by pushing the carry lock release button (Fig. 24).
3 Let the appliance cool down completely.
4 Fold the supply hose and wind the supply hose inside the supply hose storage compartment
(Fig. 25).
5 Fold the mains cord and fasten it with the Velcro strip.
6 You can carry the appliance with one hand by the handle of the iron when the iron is locked on the
iron platform.
