Descaling

Anti-limescale function

Note
► The steam iron has an integrated anti-limescale function to reduce the
formation of limescale when steam is released, thus extending the life of the
appliance. However, the anti-limescale function cannot completely prevent
the natural process of limescale formation and deposition. Therefore, use the
self-cleaning function regularly (see section Self-cleaning function).
