Cleaning and maintenance.
After ironing
1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool down.
2 Wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a
non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, you should 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
cleaning.
Calc-Clean function
1 The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles.
Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very
hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), you should use the
Calc-Clean function more frequently.
2 Set the steam control to position O.
3 Set the temperature dial to MAX.
4 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.
5 Put the plug in the wall socket.
6 Unplug the iron when the temperature light has gone out.
7 Hold the iron over the sink and set the steam control to the Calc-Clean
position x (fig. 11).
8 Pull the steam control slightly upwards (fig. 12).
9 Gently shake the iron until all water in the tank has been used up (fig. 13).
Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate. Scale (if any) will be flushed
out.
10 After having used the Calc-Clean function, press the steam control back to its
original position and set it to position O.
Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the water coming out of the iron still contains scale
particles.
After the Calc-Clean process
1 Connect the iron to the mains to let the soleplate dry.
2 Unplug the iron when the light has gone out.
3 Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains
that may have formed on the soleplate.
4 Let the iron cool down before you store it.
Cleaning the steam control needle
1 Pull the steam control out of the appliance (fig. 12).
2 Use vinegar to remove scale, if any, from the needle (fig. 14).
Do not bend or damage the steam control needle.
3 Reinsert the steam control needle by placing the point of the needle exactly in
the centre of the hole and by fitting the small projection on the side of the
needle into the slot (fig. 15).
4 Set the steam control to position O.
Storage.
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged and set the steam control to position O.
2 Empty the water tank (fig. 16).
3 Wind the mains cord round the cord storage facility.
4 Store the iron on its heel in a safe and dry place (fig. 17).
Environment.
� Do not throw the appliance away with the normal household waste at the end
of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing
this you will help to preserve the environment (fig. 18).
