Note: If the amber temperature light does not go on after you move the iron, the soleplate still has the

right temperature and the iron is ready for use.

Delicate fabric protector (specific types only)

The delicate fabric protector protects delicate fabrics from heat damage and shiny patches.

With the delicate fabric protector you can iron delicate fabrics (silk, wool and nylon) at temperature

settings 3to MAX in combination with all steam functions available on the iron.

The delicate fabric protector reduces the soleplate temperature instantly, thus allowing you to iron

delicate fabrics safely.

If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing

temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use the article.

1

Put the iron on the delicate fabric protector (‘click’) (Fig. 13).

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

1

Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive

(liquid) cleaning agent.

To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad,

vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.

2

Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.

3

Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after you have rinsed it.

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

flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.

1

Make sure the appliance is unplugged.

2

Set the steam control to position 0.

3

Fill the water tank to the maximum level.

Do not put vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.

4

Set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 14).

5

Plug in the appliance. If the appliance has an earthed plug, put the mains plug in an earthed

wall socket.

6

Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.

7

Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the Calc-Clean button and gently shake the iron

to and fro (Fig. 15).

, Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Impurities and flakes (if any) are flushed out.

8

Release the Calc-Clean button as soon as all the water in the tank has been used up.

Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
