Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
1 Unplug the iron and let it cool down.
2 Pour any remaining water out of the water tank from the water
filling door.
3 Wipe flakes and any other deposit off the soleplate with a damp
cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the
soleplate.
Calc-clean function
IMPORTANT: Use Calc-clean function every 1 month to prolong the life of
your iron. If water in your area is very hard, or you see scales coming out from
the soleplate during ironing, use this function more frequently.

setting.

gently shake the iron forth and back until all water in the water tank
has been used up.
Scales is flushed out, steam and boiling water also come out of the
soleplate.

scale particles.
