CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!

• If the clothing care instructions forbid ironing ( symbol), the clothing item must not be treated with a steam brush. Ignoring this warning could lead to permanent damage to the clothing item.
• Always fill water tank 1 with tap water (or a mixture of tap and distilled water) only. Otherwise, you will damage the appliance.
• Do not clean the appliance with solvents, alcohol or abrasive cleaning agents. These could damage it.

Before first use

NOTE
As every steam brush is tested for functionality after manufacture, it is possible that drop-lets of water remain in the water tank 1.

• Fill the water tank with water 1 (see chapter “Filling the appliance with water”).
• Insert plug 7 into a properly installed and grounded wall socket.
• Hold the steam brush horizontally.
• Set the temperature control 3 to “MAX”.
• Heat the steam brush up for several minutes at the highest setting. This will loosen production residue from the ironing sole 10.
• Activate the steam blast button 8 several times so that steam comes out of the ironing sole 10.
• Then iron over a piece of scrap fabric to remove any production residues that may remain on the ironing sole 10.

NOTE
The first time the appliance heats up, a small amount of smoke and odour may result from production-related residues. This is normal and is completely harmless. Ensure sufficient ventilation; for example, by opening a window.

Operation

• If the clothing care instructions forbid ironing ( symbol), the clothing item must not be treated with the steam brush. Ignoring this warning could lead to permanent damage to the clothing item.
• Do not treat leather, velvet, waterproofed furniture or fabrics that are sensitive to steam. Otherwise, you might cause damage to the textile or piece of furniture.

Filling the appliance with water

CAUTION!
Only fill water tank 1 with tap water or a mixture of tap and distilled water. Never fill water tank 1 with chemical substances, cleaning agents (except descaling agents), or other liquids. Do not use chemically softened water. This could cause irreparable damage to the appliance.

If the mains water in your location is rated as hard, we recommend that you mix the mains water with some distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for the steam blast function could become blocked with limescale prematurely.

To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix mains water with distilled water according to the table.

Water hardness

|

Ratio of distilled water to mains water

---|---
very soft/soft| 0
medium| 1:1
hard| 2:1
very hard| 3:1

Ask your local water utility about the water hardness in your area.

CAUTION
Always remove plug 7 from the power socket before filling the appliance! There is a risk of electric shock!

• Remove water tank 1 by sliding back release 4 of water tank 1 until you can lift water tank 1 up. Grip the water tank 1 by the protruding gripping aids with your thumb and index finger and lift it up vertically. The tem-perature control 3 stays on the appliance and is not removed along with the water tank.
• Open the filler opening 2 in water tank 1.
• Use measuring cup 15 to fill water tank 1 with water to the “Max” marking.
• Close the filler opening 2 in water tank 1. Ensure that the collar in the filler opening 2 locks into the notch on the lid. This means that water tank 1 is properly closed.
• Replace water tank 1 with the appliance. Water tank 1 must audibly click into the release of water tank 4.

Attaching/removing the brush extension

CAUTION
Never remove or attach the brush extension 12 while the appliance is hot.

Risk of burns!

• To use the steam and brush functions, please attach brush extension 12 to the steam brush.
• To do this, push the brush extension 12 onto the appliance along the guide aid until it is fully attached. The release of the brush extension 11 must click into place audibly.
• To use the ironing function, please remove brush extension 12 from the steam brush.
• To do this, push release 11 downwards and pull the brush extension 12 off the appliance.

Steam brush function

• Attach brush extension 12 to the appliance. It must audibly click into the release of the brush extension 11.
• Insert plug 7 into a properly installed and grounded wall socket.
• To produce steam, set the temperature control 3 to or higher. The heat-up indicator lamp 5 lights up. As soon as the selected temperature has been reached, the heat-up indicator lamp 5 goes out.

NOTE

• To use the steam burst function, set the tem-perature control 3 to or higher. Lower temperatures are insufficient for producing a burst of steam.
• You can now produce a burst of steam by pressing the steam burst button 8.

NOTE
To produce the first burst of steam after heating the appliance, you may have to press the steam burst button 8 several times in a row.

The appliance is now ready for use.

CAUTION
The steam brush can be used with any piece of clothing. Be careful when treating heat-sensitive textiles such as synthetics, polyamide or artificial silk. Before treating such materials, first process a small test patch in an invisible spot (inside of the seam) to ensure that the hot steam does not damage the material. Do not apply the hot ironing sole 10 to these materials directly. Only use the steam burst function.

Use on clothing

• Hang the creased piece of clothing onto a coat hanger.
• Gently stretch the item with one hand and hold it, then apply steam from top to bottom. Combine steam with the clothes brushes 14 for gentle removal of all creases.
• Gently apply pressure with the clothes brush 14 and move the appliance over the piece of clothing from top to bottom. You can press the steam burst button 8 at brief intervals.

NOTE

• Only repeat pressing the steam burst button 8 until the heat-up indicator lamp 5 lights up or water drips from the ironing sole 10. Wait until the heat-up indicator lamp 5 goes out before initiating another burst of steam.
• If the heat-up indicator lamp 5 lights up during operation, do not press the steam blast button 8 again. Wait a few seconds until the heat-up indicator lamp 5 goes out before pressing the steam blast button 8 again.

NOTE

• If you press the steam burst button 8 while the heat-up indicator lamp 5 is illuminated, the appliance will produce condensation instead of steam, and water will drip from the ironing sole 10.
• Allow treated clothes to cool down on a coat hanger before wearing them.

Use on curtains and upholstery

• You can remove creases and wrinkles from draperies by hanging them on a rail.
• Simply adhere to the instructions under “Use on clothing”.
• Always carry out a test treatment on an invisible patch of the item.
• If you are using the appliance horizontally, turn it vertically every now and then to produce the greatest possible amount of steam.

Lint brush

• To remove lint, string and hair, slowly guide the red lint brush 13 over your clothes from left to right.
• Moving the lint brush 13 over scrap fabric or similar materials in the opposite direction (i.e., from right to left) will clean the brush.

Ironing function

• Remove the brush extension 12 from the appliance (see “Attaching/removing the brush extension”).
• The appliance must be connected to correctly installed and earthed mains power sockets only.
• Set the temperature control 3 in accordance with the international care symbols (laundry label) or the type of fabric. The heat-up indicator lamp 5 lights up. As soon as the selected tem-perature has been reached, the heat-up indicator lamp 5 goes out.

NOTE
If in doubt, start with a low temperature and gradually increase it. For sensitive fabric, we recommend that you iron an invisible patch (inside of the seam) first to ensure that the ironing process does not cause damage.

• If your clothes are heavily creased, use the steam function by pressing the steam burst button 8. To produce steam, set the temperature control 3 to or higher.
• If the heat-up indicator lamp 5 lights up during operation, do not press the steam blast button 8 again: wait a few seconds until the heat-up indicator lamp 5 goes out.
• Only repeat pressing the steam burst button 8 until the heat-up indicator lamp 5 lights up or water drips from the ironing sole 10. Wait until the heat-up indicator lamp 5 goes out before initiating another burst of steam.

NOTE

• If you press the steam burst button 8 while the heat-up indicator lamp 5 is illuminated, the appliance will produce condensation instead of steam, and water will drip from the ironing sole 10.
• If the water tank runs dry during operation 1, pull the mains plug 7 before refilling it.
• To set the appliance down briefly during opera-tion, unfold stand 9 to the front and lean the appliance on it. To resume the use of the appli-ance, simply fold the stand 9 back to the rear.

After using the steam brush

• Set the temperature control 3 to “MIN”.
• Always disconnect plug 7 from the mains power socket after use.
• Empty water tank 1 by opening the filler opening 2 of water tank 1, turning the appliance upside down and swinging it gently.

Cleaning and care

WARNING – RISK OF INJURY!
Always disconnect the mains plug 7 before cleaning the appliance. There is a risk of electric shock! Allow the appliance to cool down. Risk of burns!

CAUTION

• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. These may damage the surfaces.
• Clean the housing with a soft, dry cloth only.
• Clean the metal parts of the appliance with a damp cloth and a mild, non-scouring detergent.
• To clean the ironing sole 10, wipe it with a damp cloth and a small amount of dish soap.

Descaling
The appliance must be descaled regularly to maintain its maximum performance. The frequency of descaling depends on the quality of the water and the frequency with which the appliance is used. We recommend that you descale the appliance either once a year or after 50 hours of total use. We recommend descaling immediately, however, if you notice that the appliance is generating less steam.

NOTE
You can do this with a regular descaling agent containing citric acid. Also observe the instructions for the descaling agent.

1. Ensure that the appliance has completely cooled down.
2. Add the descaling agent to the water tank 1.
3. Insert plug 7 into a properly installed and grounded wall socket.
4. To produce steam, set the temperature control 3 to or higher. The heat-up indicator lamp 5 lights up. As soon as the selected temperature has been reached, the heat-up indicator lamp 5 goes out.
5. Allow the descaling agent to take effect for a few minutes.
6. Press the steam burst button 8 and start steam-ing an old piece of cloth with the steam brush.
7. Afterward, refill water tank 1 with pure water and steam another old cloth to remove descaler residues.
