Flakes and impurities come out of the soleplate during ironing.

Water leaks from the soleplate while the iron cools down or after it has been stored.

You have used hard water, which has caused scale flakes to develop inside the soleplate.

You have put the iron in horizontal position while there is still water in the water tank.

Use the Calc-Clean function one or more times (see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).

Empty the water tank and set the steam control to the ‘no steam’ position before you store the iron (see chapter ‘Storage’). Store the iron on its heel.
