Double-Active Calc System
The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the
water tank combined with the Calc-Clean function.
1 The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents.
This tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced.
2 The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.
Using the Calc-Clean function
Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your
area is very hard (i.e. when akes come out of the soleplate during
ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.
