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. 6 and 7.

Notice: The iron must not be used without the steam regulator.

G Decalcifying/anticalc system

In order to clean the steam chamber from residues, decalcify it as shown in fig.

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.
