G Cleaning the anticalc valve
The iron's anticalc valve is located at the
lower end of the steam button (3). It has
to be decalcified regularly (e.g. when the
steam development is insufficient).
Proceed as follows:
1) Unplug the iron and empty the water tank.
2) Press the steam button so it is lifted.
3) Remove carefully (some water may now
leak from the sole plate).
4) Do not touch the anticalc valve.
5) Immerse in vinegar (not vinegar essence)
or lemon juice until the lime becomes soft.
6) Use a non-metallic brush until all openings
are clean.
7) Rinse under running water.
8) Re-insert the steam button.
9) Press to check the steam on/off function.
Note: the iron must never be used without
the steam button.
H Decalcifying / anticalc system
When scale particles come out of the steam
vents or when the steam development is
insufficient even after cleaning the anticalc
valve, you should clean the steam chamber
as follows:
1) Make sure the steam button is in its lower
position.
2) – 3) Fill water into the tank, connect to the
mains and select the «•••» temperature
setting.
4) – 5) Wait until the pilot light turns off.
Unplug the iron.
6) – 7) Hold the iron over a sink, then press the
steam button so it is lifted, carefully pull it
up, turn it and rest it in this position.
Caution: When the steam button is pulled
up, hot water and steam will come out from
the sole plate.
8) Push back the steam button until it catches
in the lower position.
9) – 10) Fill water into the tank, connect to the
mains and select the «•••» temperature
setting.
11) – 13) When the pilot light goes off, press
the power shot button 4 times to rinse the
iron. Disconnect the iron and wait for the
sole plate to cool off, then clean it as
described above in section «G».
