Calc’n’Clean
Cleaning the Boiler
To extend the life of your steam generator and
to avoid any build up of scale, it is essential that
you rinse out the boiler after several hours of use
(approximately after 50 hours). If the water is
hard, increase the frequency.
Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the
boiler, as they could damage it.
1. Check carefully that the appliance is cold and
unplugged for more than 2 hours, and that the
water tank (1) is empty.
2. Place your appliance on the edge of your
kitchen sink.
3. Remove the plastic cover located on the
bottom of the appliance by turning it to the
position.
4. Unscrew the boiler drainage plug using a coin.
5. Holding your steam generator in upside down
position, and using a jug, fill the boiler (in the
base unit) with 1/4 litre of water.
6. Shake the base unit for a few moments and
then empty it completely over a sink or bucket.
To obtain the best result, we recommend that
this operation is done twice.
Important: before re-closing, make sure no
water remains in the boiler.
7. Replace and tighten up the boiler drainage plug
with a coin.
8. Insert and close the plastic cover by turning it
to the position.
Automatic clean warning
(Model dependent)
Pilot light (6) will flash indicating that boiler must
be rinsed.
To reset the “Calc’n’Clean” counter, switch
the steam station off twice, keeping it off for
at least 30 seconds each time.
(on → 30s off → on → 30s off → on)

Rinsing the iron steam
chamber
Caution! Risk of burns!
This procedure helps to remove scale particles
out of the steam chamber.
This cleaning procedure may be performed
occasionally (approximately once a year), when
after a long period of use with very hard water,
scale particles start to come out of the soleplate.
1. Ensure that the iron is cooled down.
2. Set the temperature selector (12) of the iron to
the “min” position.
3. Fill the tank with tap water.
4. Plug in the mains cable and set the main
power button (7) to the “I” position (illuminated
in red).
5. Wait until the “steam ready” indicator lamp (4)
lights up.
6. If the steam station has steam control (5*), set
it to the maximum position .
7. Hold the iron over the sink or a container to
collect the water.
8. Press the steam release button (13) and gently
shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will
come out, carrying scale and or deposits that
might be there. This could take approximately
5 minutes.
9. Set the temperature selector (12) of the iron
to the “max” position, without pressing the
steam release button (13-14*). The water in
the steam chamber will start evaporating.
Wait until all the water inside the chamber has
been evaporated.
10. To clean the soleplate, immediately rub off any
residue by running the hot iron over dry cotton
cloth.
