6. Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your steam station.
6.1 Anti-Limescale System (Automatic Anti-Calc)
Your steam station features an automatic anti-limescale system. When the "Anti-Calc" indicator light illuminates, it's time to perform the descaling procedure.

- Refer to the specific descaling instructions in your full product manual for the exact procedure, which typically involves rinsing the collector or performing a self-cleaning cycle.
- Regular descaling prevents mineral buildup and maintains steam performance.
6.2 Cleaning the Soleplate
- Allow the iron to cool completely.
- Wipe the Durilium soleplate with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metallic scouring pads.
- For stubborn marks, a specialized soleplate cleaner may be used, following its instructions.
6.3 Storage
