tem is ready and steam is available, the
message Ready for use will be shown
in the display.
Hold the iron over a washbasin or a
heat-resistant container. You can also
use the residual water drawer from
the steam ironing system. Be aware,
though, that the drawer can only be
taken out of the steam ironing system
once the appliance is switched on.
During the rinsing process, hot
water and steam come out of the
iron.
Danger of burning.
Never direct the iron at people, anim-
als or electrical appliances of any
kind.
Press the button on the iron for
around a minute and tilt the iron.
Keep the tip of the iron pointing
downward slightly.
Hot water and steam will come out of
the iron and dislodge any deposits that
have built up. As soon as there is only
steam coming out, you can release the
button.
Now set the temperature selector on
the iron to the highest temperature
setting.
The indicator light on the temperature
selector will light up yellow whilst the
iron is heating up.
Tip: During the heat-up phase, you can
set down the iron on the designated
surface on the steam ironing system.
As soon as the indicator light goes out,
the rinsing process is complete.
Remove drops of water and deposits
from the soleplate by moving the iron
over a soft, absorbent cotton cloth
while it is still hot. Press the steam
button briefly 2-3 times in the pro-
cess.
The descaling process is now com-
plete. The steam ironing system can
now be switched off or used.
