Calc-Clean System
- The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents. This
tablet is constantly active and does not need to be replaced.
- The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.
- The Calc-Clean reminder light reminds you to use the Calc-Clean
function after a certain period of use.
Tip: Use the Calc-Clean function every month (for specic types only, without
the Calc-Clean reminder light).
Calc-Clean reminder light (specic types only)
- After a certain period of use, the colour of the SmartLight changes to
amber. Then you need to perform the Calc-Clean process.
Tip: If the water in your area is hard (e.g. when akes come out of the
soleplate during ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.
Note: The SmartLight resets itself automatically and lights up blue the next
time you plug in the iron, even if you have not performed the Calc-Clean
process.
