Calc-Clean System

- The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. This

tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced.

- The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.

- The Calc-Clean reminder light reminds you to use the Calc-Clean

function after a certain period of use.

Tip: Use the Calc-Clean function every month (for specic types only, without

the Calc-Clean reminder light).

Calc-Clean reminder light (specic types only)

- After a certain period of use, the colour of the SmartLight changes to

amber. Then you need to perform the Calc-Clean process.

Tip: If the water in your area is hard (e.g. when akes come out of the

soleplate during ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.

Note: The SmartLight resets itself automatically and lights up blue the next

time you plug in the iron, even if you have not performed the Calc-Clean

process.
