Important
Perform the descaling process regularly for great steam and a prolonged lifetime of the appliance.
Recommended water to use
Distilled or demineralized water if you live in an area with hard water.
Type of water to use
This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if you live in an area with hard
water, fast scale build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized
water to prolong the lifetime of the appliance.
Warning: Do not use perfumed water, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch,
descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals, as they
may cause water spitting, brown staining or damage to your appliance.
Caution: Be careful when you remove the water tank. The area near the tip of the iron may be hot
(Fig. 2).
Setting the temperature
To set the required ironing temperature, turn the temperature dial to the appropriate position. The
appliance adjusts the steam automatically, depending on the ironing temperature set.

Cleaning and maintenance
Smart Calc-Clean System
Your appliance has been designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to ensure that descaling and
cleaning is done regularly. This helps to maintain a strong steam performance and prevents dirt and
stains coming out of the soleplate over time. To ensure that the cleaning process is performed, the
steam generator gives regular reminders.
Sound and light Calc-Clean reminder
After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean light starts ashing and the appliance starts beeping to
indicate that you have to perform the Calc-Clean process (Fig. 3).
Tip: You can continue to dry iron by not pressing the steam trigger.
Besides that, a second defense step to protect the steam generator from scale is integrated: the
steam function gets disabled if descaling is not done. After descaling is done, the steam function will
be restored. This takes place regardless of the type of water used.
Note: The Calc-Clean process can be performed at any time, even when the sound and light reminder
is not activated yet.
Performing the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean
container
Warning: Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-Clean process.
Caution: Do not interrupt the process by lifting the iron up from the Calc-Clean container, as hot
water and steam will come out of the soleplate.
1 Fill up the water tank halfway (Fig. 4).
Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during the Calc-Clean process.
2 Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even, stable surface.
3 Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container (Fig. 5).

Note: The Calc-Clean container has been designed to collect scale particles and hot water during
the Calc-Clean process. It is perfectly safe to rest the iron on this container during the entire
process.
4 Press and hold the Calc-Clean button for 2 seconds until you hear short beeps (Fig. 6).
5 During the Calc-Clean process, you hear short beeps and a pumping sound (Fig. 7).
6 When the Calc-Clean process is completed, the iron stops beeping and the CALC-CLEAN light
stops ashing (Fig. 8).
7 Wipe the iron with a piece of cloth and put it back on the base station (Fig. 9).
8 As the Calc-Clean container becomes hot during the Calc-Clean process, wait approx. 5 minutes
before you touch it. Then carry the Calc-Clean container to the sink, empty it and store it for future
use (Fig. 10).
9 If necessary, you can repeat steps 1 to 7. Make sure that you empty the Calc-Clean container before
you start the Calc-Clean process.
Note: During the Calc-Clean process, clean water may come out of the soleplate if no scale has
accumulated inside the iron. This is normal.
