dry place always standing on its heel rest.
E Maintenance and cleaning

F Cleaning the anticalc valve
The anticalc valve on the steam regulator
has to be decalcified regularly (e.g. when-
ever steam development is insufficient).
For this, the water tank has to be empty.

anticalc valve
Turn the steam regulator clockwise to the
double arrow at the end of the anticalc
section and it will lift. Pull it out vertically.
Do not touch the anticalc valve at its lower
end. Immerse the anticalc valve in vinegar
(not vinegar essence) or lemon juice for
minimum 30 minutes. Brush off remaining
residues and rinse under running water
(fig. F 1-5).
Re-inserting the steam regulator
To re-insert the steam regulator follow fig.

Notice: The iron must not be used without
the steam regulator.
G Decalcifying/anticalc system

residues, decalcify it as shown in fig.
G 1-11.
Caution: Hot water and steam will come
out from the sole plate when the steam
regulator is turned clockwise into the
anticalc area.
Wait for the sole plate to cool down, then
clean it as described above.
Then refill the tank with water, heat up the
iron and press the power shot button 4
times to rinse the iron before ironing
(G 12-13).
Do not use commercial decalcifiers, they
may damage the iron.
