Operating instructions

Descaling can be started at any time
whilst the red k indicator light is
flashing by pressing the j button.
If the k indicator light is permanently
on, the remaining operating hours have
expired.
You can still finish your ironing,
however, the appliance must carry out
descaling next time it is switched on,
before any more ironing is done.
^
Disconnect the steam hose of the
iron or the steamer from the steam
connection.
^
Set the appliance to the highest
working position, to allow access for
removing the residual water container
during the descaling process.
Do not connect the iron or the steamer
during descaling. This would interrupt
the descaling process by switching off
the appliance. If it is switched on again
without the iron or steamer attached,
the descaling process is continued.
The residual water container can
become hot during the descaling
process. Only remove and empty
the residual water container, when
prompted to do so by the 2
indicator light.
Otherwise hot water could spill out
and cause injuries and/or damage to
the appliance.
To prevent unwanted removal of the
container, set the appliance to its
lowest working position. The
appliance must be put back into its
highest working position to remove
the residual water container.
The descaling process can be
interrupted by switching the appliance
off with the s button. When it is
switched back on, the descaling
process will resume from the stage at
which it was interrupted.
Starting the descaling process
^
Press the On/Off button s to switch
on the appliance.
The ring around the s button lights up
yellow.
^ Press the j button for a few seconds
to start the descaling process.
The k indicator now lights up yellow.
If the residual water container is not
inserted or is full, the 2 indicator light
comes on.
^ Set the appliance to its highest
working position (see "Adjusting the
height") to allow access for removing
the residual water container.
^
Remove and empty the residual
water container.
^
Replace the residual water container.
The 2 indicator light will go out.
Later on in the descaling process
the residual water container must
not be removed unless the 2
indicator light comes on. Otherwise
hot water could spill out and cause
injuries and/or damage to the
appliance.
