Performing the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean
container
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.
Warning: Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-
Clean process.
Caution: Always perform the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean
container. 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.
Fill up the water tank halfway.
Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during
the Calc-Clean process.
Place the Calc-Clean container on the ironing board or any other even,
stable surface.
Place the iron stably on the Calc-Clean container.
