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 Empty the water tank through the lling door (Fig. 20). Tilt the appliance and remove the EASY DE-

CALC knob.

3 Pour 500ml distilled water into the DE-CALC opening and tighten the EASY DE-CALC knob (Fig. 21).

4 Fill up the water tank halfway. Switch on the appliance and wait for 5 minutes.

5 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. 22).

Warning: Hot, dirty water (about 100-150 ml) comes out of the soleplate.

6 Stop cleaning when no more water comes out of the soleplate or when steam starts coming out of

the soleplate.

7 Unplug the steam generator and let it cool down for at least two hours. Remove the EASY DE-CALC

knob and let the remaining water ow out. Tighten the EASY DE-CALC knob.
