IMPORTANT - DESCALING

It is very important to perform the descaling procedure as
soon as the EASY DE-CALC light starts to flash and the
appliance beeps continuously.
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 descaling 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 descaling procedure.
1 Remove the plug from the wall socket.
2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.
3 Hold a container (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the
EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise.
Tip: You can also take the appliance to a sink and place it in such a way that
the EASY DE-CALC knob points towards the sink.
4 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scale
particles flow into the container.
Never remove the EASY DE-CALC knob when the appliance is hot.
Note: This appliance is specially designed to easily and effectively remove
scale together with the water. It is not necessary to shake or tilt the appliance.
5 When no more water comes out of the appliance, reinsert the
EASY DE-CALC knob and turn it clockwise to fasten it.
Make sure the EASY DE-CALC knob is properly tightened after
descaling.
