how to anti scale tefal pro express lost instructions?

I have de-scaled my pro express and water is totally clear.
However it is a hit or a miss as to whether hot water gets strewn all over the garments or steam when ironing. Also even when lifting the iron boiling water leaks out so dangerous to use. Any suggestions

A big thanks to Sludgeguts. My girlfriend (nothing to do with me) has also lost the instructions to our Tefal Pro Express and although we knew from the previous iron how to descale, but we didn't know how to get the orange light to turn off. Two minor arguments later (and several pints of water) I found this article and held the restart button down.

Make sure the unit is cold & unplugged. place the unit on the edge of the sink.
Unscrew the cord clip by turning 1/4 turn to the left (towards the back).
Using a coin, unscrew the boiler rinse plug.
Insert the plastic rinse nozle - gently push in & turn 1/4 turn to the right. Ensure the outlet is over the sink.
Connect the other end to a tap.
Turn the tap on gently & allow water to run through for about 1 minute.
Turn off tap
Remove rinse pipe (turn 1/4 turn left)
screw back & tighten the rinse plug (use a coin to gently tighten).
Replace the cord clip.
Next time you use the unit, hold down the "reset" button to turn off the orange light.

If you've lost the pipe, use a jug to pour in 1/4 litre of water, shake the base unit for a few moments & empty into sink.
Repeat with another 1/4 litre water.
