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.
