Note: See chapter ‘General description’ for the type numbers that are

equipped with the Double-Active Calc System.

The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the

water tank combined with the Calc-Clean function.

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

The tablet is constantly active and does not need to be

replaced (Fig. 13).

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

Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your

area is very hard (i.e. when akes come out of the soleplate during

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

3 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.

Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.
