Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate. Impurities and scale (if any)
will be flushed out.
9 Use vinegar to remove scale, if any, from the steam control needle (fig. 13).
Do not bend or damage the steam control needle.
10 Put the steam control back into the iron by inserting the point of the needle
exactly in the centre of the hole and by fitting the small projection on the side
of the needle into the slot. Press down the steam control while turning it to
position O (fig. 14).
11 Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
After the Calc-Clean process

to dry.
2 Unplug the iron when the temperature light has gone out.
3 Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains
that may have formed on the soleplate.
