The Calc&Clean system helps maintain optimal performance by removing limescale buildup. The iron will indicate when cleaning is required.

  1. Ensure the water tank is full.
  2. Place the iron on its Calc&Clean tray (if provided, or a suitable container) on a heat-resistant surface.
  3. Press and hold the Calc&Clean button (refer to your iron's specific button layout, often near the steam controls) for a few seconds until the cleaning cycle begins.
  4. The iron will automatically perform a descaling cycle, expelling hot water and steam. Do not interrupt this process.
  5. Once the cycle is complete, the iron will beep and the indicator light will turn off. Allow the iron to cool down completely before storing.

General Cleaning:

  • Always unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
  • Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary. Do not use metallic scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
  • Clean the exterior of the iron and base unit with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Empty any remaining water from the tank after each use to prevent limescale buildup.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
No steam is produced. Water tank is empty or not properly inserted. Iron not heated sufficiently. Steam button not pressed. Refill the water tank and ensure it is correctly seated. Wait for the iron to reach operating temperature (indicator light on). Press the steam button.
Water leaks from the soleplate. Iron temperature is too low for steam. Overfilling the water tank. Allow the iron to heat up completely before using steam. Ensure the water tank is filled to the MAX line, not beyond.
Iron does not heat up. Not plugged in. Power switch off. Auto-off activated. Check if the iron is properly plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the ON/OFF button is pressed. Move the iron or press a button to reactivate if auto-off engaged.
Limescale residue on clothes. Limescale buildup in the iron. Perform the Calc&Clean self-cleaning cycle. Use a mixture of tap and distilled water in hard water areas.
