Why is descaling needed?
Over time, your appliance can build up scale. The harder the water in your area, the faster scale
impurities develop and solidify. Descaling your Philips Steam Iron every 1-2 months can prevent
brown stains, brown water and leaking. Regular cleaning keeps steam output at its highest and
extends the lifetime of your appliance.
Self Clean function
Below information apply to all Philips steam irons.
1. Fill the water tank and turn on. (If your iron has adjustable settings, choose MAX TEMP and
NO STEAM.)
2. When the light goes out, unplug, and hold the iron over the sink so the soleplate is
horizontal.
3. Activate CALC CLEAN using the button or selector. (Varies per model. Press and hold, if
necessary.)
4. Shake the iron gently back and forth until empty. Water, steam, and scale will come out of
the steam vents.
5. Heat the iron and glide over a cloth to clean the soleplate. Repeat process, if necessary.
6. Repeat this whole process once a month, or more if necessary.
