IMPORTANT – Descaling the soleplate
If you do not use the EASY DE-CALC function regularly, scale particles
may build up in the soleplate and brown stains may come out of the
soleplate during ironing. In this situation, you need to descale the
soleplate by following the procedure below. We advice you to repeat
the procedure twice to better clean the soleplate.
To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down
for at least two hours before you descale the soleplate.
1 Remove the plug from the wall socket.
2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.
3 Make sure that the water tank is empty.
4 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the EASY DE-
CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise.
5 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scale
particles flow into the cup.
6 Hold the appliance in the position that EASY DE-CALC opening is
facing up and pour 900ml distilled water into the opening.
Note: Be mindful on the heavy weight of the appliance when you tilt it.
7 Keep the EASY DE-CALC opening facing up, reinsert the EASY DE-
CALC knob and turn it clockwise to fasten it.
