During the time the sole plate is cooling down we
recommend to decalcify the anti-calc. valve in
the following way:
1. Put a small quantity of white vinegar (not
vinegar essence) or lemon juice into a glass or
bowl.
2. Immerse just the bot-
tom part of the valve in
the liquid, wait till it is
decalcified and care-
fully brush of remain-
ing residue (E).
Do not use a metal
brush.
3. Then, rinse it under
running water without touching the lower end
of the valve.

of steam, refill the tank
with water, heat the
iron up and press the
button

Ironing Guide
To begin ironing, it is best to start with fabrics
requiring a lower temperature (e. g. synthetics),
and continue with those requiring a higher
temperature (e. g. cotton, linen).
Silk and silk-like synthetics tend to waterspot,
therefore before using the water spray feature,
test it on an inconspicuous spot first.
Mixed fabrics: Always select the temperature
suited for the most sensitive fibre the garment
contains. Follow manufacturer’s instructions on
the label.
