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 Smart Calc-Clean container

Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-Clean process.

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 Smart Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even, stable

surface (Fig. 9).

5 Place the iron stably on the Smart Calc-Clean container.

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).

Caution: During the Calc-Clean process, hot water and steam ( approx. 50°C) come out of the

soleplate.

Note: The handle may get wet due to steam. This is normal.

9 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station (Fig. 13).

10 As the Smart Calc-Clean container becomes hot during the Calc-Clean process, wait approx.

5 minutes before you touch it.

11 Carry the Smart Calc-Clean container to the sink, empty it and store it for future

use (Fig. 14).
