Before the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any faults or defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, or if excessive force has been used to pull the power cord, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance. Do not use the iron if it has been dropped onto a hard surface, or if it shows any sign of damage or leakage.
The iron must be used and stored on a stable and durable surface only.
Even with the iron placed on its back rest, ensure that this too is on a stable and durable surface.
In order to avoid hazards, repairs to this electrical appliance or its power cord must be carried out by our customer service. If repairs are needed, please contact our customer service department by telephone or email (see appendix).

Filling with water

Fill the water reservoir before using the steam function or the spray nozzle. Remove the plug from the wall socket before filling the reservoir.

This steam iron is to a large extent resistant to hard water (up to 15° dH). Although normal tap water may be used, it is advisable to use distilled, demineralized or decalcified water. Should you be unsure about the hardness of the water in your area, please enquire of the relevant local authority department.
Turn the steam control button to its position.
Push the release button for the water reservoir and remove it by pulling it out from the front.
Open the cover of the water fill hole.
Fill the empty water reservoir using the measuring cup provided. Fill to the indicated Max level only.
Close the water fill hole.
Fit the water reservoir to the iron from the front and make sure that it locks properly into place.
Note :
To prevent water from spilling out, make absolutely sure that the water reservoir is properly fitted

General information about ironing

Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article to be ironed.

The meaning of the ironing symbols is as follows:
- synthetics (low temperature)
- silk and wool (medium temperature)
- cotton and linen (high temperature)
These markings can also be found on the temperature control knob of the steam iron in the form of dot symbols.
Laundry to be ironed should be
sorted according to the fabric ironing temperature. Follow the ironing symbols and start with the lowest temperature.
When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or if you are not sure about the fabrics, you may carefully test-iron at a non-visible point, e.g. inside of seam. Start with the lowest temperature.
If the laundry is being dried in a dryer before ironing, the temperature should be adjusted to “iron dry”. Very dry fabrics are difficult to iron.

Start up

Clean the steam iron before using for the first time, according to the instructions given in the paragraph Cleaning and care – Self-cleaning system. This will result in the removal of possible dust particles from the soleplate and subsequently lessen the smell typically encountered when first switching on. Please ensure sufficient ventilation.

Ironing

Steam ironing requires high temperatures. The temperature level for steam ironing is indicated on the temperature control knob
After filling the reservoir with water, place the steam iron upright on its base stand and insert the plug into the wall socket.
Set the temperature control knob to the required ironing temperature as indicated by the ironing symbols.
During the heating-up process the indicator lamp will be on. The lamp will go out once the required ironing temperature has been reached.
Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate should be cleaned by passing it over an old, clean cotton cloth, while using the steam jet function; this helps to flush out any dirt residues or lint particles trapped inside the openings in the soleplate.
The steam output can be continuously adjusted with the steam control button or completely switched off for dry ironing .
For dry ironing, the water reservoir may be empty. Should there be water left in the reservoir, the steam jet function may also be used when dry-ironing at higher temperature settings.
Place the steam iron upright on its base stand after use and remove the plug from the wall socket.

Steam jet

When the steam jet button is depressed, an additional hot steam jet is emitted from the soleplate. This function can be very useful when removing stubborn creases.
For a sufficiently strong steam jet, the reservoir must be at least a quarter full.

Spray nozzle

The laundry can be dampened by pressing the spray button ( ). This will help to smooth out difficult areas. The spray nozzle may be used at any temperature level during dry or steam ironing.

Cleaning and care

Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
To avoid any risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with liquids or immerse it in a liquid.
If necessary, the unit may be wiped with a dry fuzz-free cloth.
Starch, fat and other deposits on the soleplate may be removed with a cloth soaked in a vinegar-water solution.
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
Do not put vinegar or other descales into the water reservoir.

Self-cleaning system

The self-cleaning system flushes out loose mineral deposits and keeps the appliance free of lime and dust particles. Self-cleaning should be performed if the iron has not been used for an extended period of time, or otherwise every 10-15 days. Proceed as follows:

Fill the water reservoir up to the maximum level mark with water.
Place the iron on its base stand and insert the plug into the wall socket.
Set the temperature control to its maximum setting.
Wait until the indicator lamp goes out.
Remove the plug from the wall socket.
Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
With the self-cleaning button ( ) pressed, swing the iron lightly to and for until no more steam or hot water is emitted.
Pour out any remaining water from the reservoir.
Allow the soleplate to cool down before cleaning it with a damp, lint-free cloth.

Storage

Turn off the steam iron, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the unit cool down completely.
Pour any remaining water out of the reservoir through the water fill hole.
To avoid damage to the soleplate, store the steam iron in upright position on its base stand.
