socket and let the iron cool down.

To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects.

Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the

soleplate.

3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.

4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank

after you have rinsed it (Fig. 9).

Note: Refer to chapter ‘General description’ for the specic type numbers.

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. 10).

- 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.

1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.

2 Set the steam control to position 0.

3 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.

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

4 Set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 11).
