Descaling Process:

Follow the step-by-step visual guide for descaling. This process typically involves:

1. Ensuring the iron is cool and unplugged.
2. Emptying any remaining water from the tank.
3. Running a descaling cycle as guided by the appliance, which may involve filling with water, heating, and releasing steam/water.
4. After descaling, rinsing the tank and running a short steam cycle to clear any residue.

Note: Failure to perform descaling may result in reduced steam output, hot water or steam leaking from the soleplate, and continuous beeping sounds from the unit. [Icon: Sound waves ?]
