IMPORTANT - DESCALING
It is very important to perform the descaling procedure as soon as the EASY
DE-CALC light starts to ash and the appliance beeps continuously.
The EASY DE-CALC light ashes and the appliance beeps continuously after about a month or
10 ironing sessions to indicate that the appliance needs to be descaled. Perform the following
descaling procedure before you continue ironing.
1 Remove the plug from the wall socket (Fig. 9).
2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.
3 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the
knob anticlockwise (Fig. 10).
4 RemovetheEASYDE-CALCknobandletthewaterwithscaleparticlesowintothecup
(Fig. 11).
5 When no more water comes out of the appliance, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob and
turn it clockwise to fasten it. (Fig. 12)

for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The ironing board
cover becomes
wet or there are
water droplets on
the garment
during ironing.
Steam has condensed on the
ironing board cover after a long
ironing session.
Replace the ironing board cover if the foam
material has worn out. You can also add an
extra layer of felt material under the ironing
board cover to prevent condensation on
the ironing board. You can buy felt in a
fabric shop.
You have an ironing board
cover that is not designed to
cope with the high steam rate
of the appliance.
Put an extra layer of felt material under
the ironing board cover to prevent
condensation on the ironing board.
You can buy felt in a fabric shop.
Water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
The steam that was still present
in the hose has cooled down
and condensed into water.
This causes water droplets to
come out of the soleplate.
Steam away from the garment for a few
seconds.
Steam and/or
water come out
from under the
EASY DE-CALC
knob.
The EASY DE-CALC knob is
not tightened properly.
Switch off the appliance and let the
appliance cool down for 2 hours.
Unscrew the EASY DE-CALC knob and
screw it back onto the appliance properly.
Note: Some water may escape when you
remove the knob.
The rubber sealing ring of the
EASY DE-CALC knob is worn.
