Quick Calc Release (specic types only)

IMPORTANT: The Quick Calc Release automatically collects loose scale particles during

ironing. After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean reminder light starts ashing to

remind you to use the Quick Calc Release function (Fig. 2-1). This is to remove scales

collected from your iron to prolong its life. When the Calc-Clean reminder light is

light is not activated yet. If you live in a hard water area, use the function more

frequently.
