The EASY DE-CALC light flashes and the appliance beeps continuously after about a month or 10 ironing sessions
to indicate that the appliance needs to be descaled. Perform the following EASY DE-CALC procedure before you
continue ironing.
To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two hours before you perform the
EASY DE-CALC procedure.
1. Remove the plug from the wall socket (Fig. 13).
2. Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.
3. Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise
(Fig. 14).
4. Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scale particles flow into the cup (Fig. 15).
5. When no more water comes out of the appliance, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn it clockwise to
fasten it (Fig. 16).
6. You can continue using your iron immediately after completing the EASY DE-CALC procedure.
IMPORTANT Descaling the soleplate
If you do not use the EASY DE-CALC function regularly, scale particles may build up in the soleplate and brown
stains may come out of the soleplate during ironing. In this situation, you need to descale the soleplate by following
the procedure below. We advise you to repeat the procedure twice to better clean the soleplate.
To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two hours before you descale the
soleplate.
1. Remove the plug from the wall socket (Fig. 13).
2. Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.
3. Make sure that the water tank is empty.
4. Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise
(Fig. 14).
5. Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scale particles flow into the cup (Fig. 15).
6. Hold the appliance in the position that the EASY DE-CALC opening is facing up and pour 900ml distilled water
into the opening (Fig. 17).
Note: Be mindful of the heavyweight of the appliance when you tilt it.
7. Keep the EASY DE-CALC opening facing up, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob, and turn it clockwise to fasten
it (Fig. 18).
8. Put the appliance back on a stable and even surface. Plugin the appliance and switch it on (Fig. 19).
9. Wait for 5 minutes for the appliance to heat up.
10. Keep the steam trigger pressed continuously while you move the iron on a piece of thick cloth for 3 minutes
(Fig. 20).
Warning: hot, dirty water comes out of the soleplate.
11. Stop moving the iron when no more water comes out or when steam starts coming out.
12. You can continue to use the appliance immediately. Otherwise, unplug the appliance after the descaling is
completed.
