Preparing for Use

Type of Water to Use

⚠️ Warning: Do not add perfume, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water, or other chemicals, as they may cause water spitting, brown staining, or damage to your appliance.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Smart Calc-Clean System

Your appliance is designed with a Smart Calc-Clean system to ensure that descaling and cleaning are done regularly. This helps to maintain strong steam performance and prevents dirt and stains from coming out of the soleplate over time. To ensure the cleaning process is performed, the appliance provides regular reminders.

Performing the Calc-Clean Process with the Calc-Clean Container

⚠️ Warning: Do not leave the appliance unattended during the Calc-Clean process.

❗ Caution: Always perform the Calc-Clean process with the Calc-Clean container. Do not interrupt the process by lifting the iron up from the Calc-Clean container, as hot water and steam will come out of the soleplate.

Note: Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and switched ON during the Calc-Clean process.

PSG3000 Series
