Cleaning
This appliance is equipped with an Auto Calc Clean function. Over time, scale particles build up
inside the steam generator. The appliance automatically performs a Calc Clean process to clean itself
from scale after using 6 to 8 tanks of water.
1 When the Auto Calc Clean process takes place, the Auto Calc Clean light flashes and you
hear short beeps. (Fig. 15)
- Wait approximately 2 minutes for the appliance to complete the process.
- During this process, the appliance occasionally produces pumping and clicking sounds.
2 When the Auto Calc Clean process is completed, the Auto Calc Clean light goes off.

on continuously.
Note: If you do not empty the Calc Clean tank, the tank will overflow during the next Auto Calc Clean
process.

The Auto Calc Clean system keeps the appliance sufficiently clean. Hovewer, you can also perform
the Calc Clean process manually for additional cleaning.

3 To start the Calc Clean process manually, keep the middle steam selection button pressed
while switching on the appliance at the same time. Release the steam selection button only
when the blue Auto Calc Clean light flashes (Fig. 20).
4 Follow steps 1-4 of the Auto Calc Clean process described above.
Note: The manual Calc Clean process can only be activated if the appliance is sufficiently cold. If the
appliance is too hot for the manual Calc Clean process, the steam selection button flashes and the
appliance continues to heat up for use.
