Cleaning the soleplate
1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2
Pour any remaining water out of the water tank.
3 Wipe flakes and any other deposit off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-
abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
Note: To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a
scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.
Quick Calc Release (specific types only)
IMPORTANT: The Quick Calc Release automatically collects loose scale particles during
ironing. After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean reminder light starts flashing to
remind you to use the Quick Calc Release function (Fig. 2-1). This is to remove scales
collected from your iron to prolong its life. When the Calc-Clean reminder light is
flashing, the iron does not heat up.
Tip: The Quick Calc Release function can be used at any time, even when the reminder
light is not activated yet. If you live in a hard water area, use the function more
frequently.
Do not perform the Quick Calc Release when the iron is hot. Do not pour water into the
Quick Calc Release opening.
1 Unplug the appliance (Fig. 2-2) and make sure that the appliance is cool (Fig. 2-3).
2 Hold the appliance in vertical position over the sink.

(Fig.2-5).
4 Clean the Quick Calc Release collector with water (Fig. 2-6, Fig. 2-7).
5 Gently shake the appliance to allow scale particles to fall out (Fig. 2-8).
6 Insert the Quick Calc Release collector back into the appliance (Fig. 2-10).
7 Push down the lever ("click") to lock the collector (Fig. 2-11).
Calc-Clean (specific types only)
