tank has been used up.

Repeat the calc-cleaning process if the iron still contains a lot of
impurities.

After calc-cleaning

- Plug in the iron to let the soleplate dry up.

- Unplug the iron when the amber pilot light has gone out.

- Move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any
water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.
