Philips GC3620 - Manual (Page 13)

To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the
soleplate.
3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank
after you have rinsed it (Fig. 14).
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 (Fig. 15).
2 The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.
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 Set the steam control to position 0 and remove the mains plug
from the wall socket.
2 Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.
3 Set the temperature dial to MAX.
4 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
5 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.
6 Hold the iron over the sink. Push the steam control to the CALC
CLEAN position and hold it. Gently shake the iron to and
fro (Fig. 16).
, Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Impurities and
flakes (if any) are flushed out.
