• EMPTYING AND CLEANING THE BOILER
Caution! Turn the appliance off after ironing and pull the power plug out of the
o
socket. Before you unscrew the safety cap (1), completely discharge the steam
(press the steam button all the way down) and wait until the appliance has cooled
down sufficiently (approx. 2 hours) and the internal pressure has been released.
The following maintenance work must be carried out when water drips out of the
o
steam holes, or at least around every 3 months.
Before you clean your iron, pull the plug out of the socket and make sure the
§
iron has completely cooled down.
Completely empty the boiler over a sink.
§
Fill the boiler with tap water. Close the safety cap and shake the appliance.
§
Once again, empty all the water in the boiler.
§
Repeat this process until the water running out is clear and clean.
§
Descaling
o
You can also descale your appliance (if water is leaking) or flush it with water.
§
Limescale residues can be removed using a commercially available descaling
agent. However, to best care for your appliance and achieve optimum results,
we recommend that our customers use the descaling agent Rotel "Calc Clean".
Fill the measuring cup at a ratio of 1:2 with 1/3 descaler and 2/3 water, and
pour it into the hole for refilling the water. NEVER HEAT IT UP! Pour out the liq-
uid after 1 to 2 hours. Rinse it out with tap water several times.
• WHAT KIND OF WATER IS SUITABLE?
Tap Water
o
The manufacturer recommends operating the appliance using tap water with a
§
total hardness of less than 17° German hardness (°dH, deutsche Härte). Call
your local water utilities service for information on the water hardness degree.
Should your area have extremely hard tap water, for the sake of your laundry,
we recommend adding boiled or distilled water to the tap water at a ratio of
1:1.
Distilled Water
o
Please take into consideration that exclusively using distilled water could im-
§
pede the generation of steam. Water droplets could then drip out of the sole-
plate. Distilled water should either be mixed with tap water at a ratio of 1:1, or
you should occasionally only use tap water 3 to 4 times.
