Philips GC3540 - Manual (Page 12)

Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank
after you have rinsed it (Fig. 1).
Double-active Calc system (specific types only)
The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc tablet inside the
water tank combined with the Calc-Clean function.
1 The Anti-Calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the steam vents.
This tablet is constantly active and does not need to be
replaced (Fig. 13).
2 The Calc-Clean function removes the scale particles from the iron.
Calc-Clean function
Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your
area is very hard (i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during
ironing), use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.
1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
Set the steam control to position 0.
Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents in the water tank.
Set the temperature dial to MAX.
5 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
6 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.
7 Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the Calc-Clean button
and gently shake the iron to and fro (Fig. 1).
Steam and boiling water come out of the soleplate. Impurities and
flakes (if any) are flushed out.
8 Release the Calc-Clean button as soon as all the water in the tank
has been used up.
9 Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of
impurities.
