BEFORE INITIAL USAGE
Remove all packaging material. Make sure the appliance is unplugged and the temperature regulator is set at position “OFF”.
Open the water inlet cover and fill water into the opening up to the max level marked on the water tank. For this, use the measuring cup.
Insert the power plug into a designated outlet and set the temperature regulator on the highest temperature setting. After the indicator light goes off, set the steam control knob to your desired position and iron on an old piece of cloth to remove possible residue. With first use, there can be a slight odor or smoke, but this is harmless and only for a short duration. Make sure there is adequate ventilation.

OPERATION

Before selecting the temperature, read the instruction manual for the iron or the care advice on the tag of the clothing.
Note: If there is no care advice on the piece of clothing, then you should begin ironing at the lowest temperature. With lower temperatures, there will be less steam.

DRY IRONING

• Connect the iron to a suitable mains supply outlet.
• Ensure that the steam control knob is in position
•  Select the setting on the temperature regulator.
•  When the indicator light goes off, the required temperature is reached. The iron is ready for use.
•  To turn off the iron, turn the temperature regulator counterclockwise to position “OFF”, set the iron upright, and pull out the power plug.

STEAM IRON
Fill the water tank, as described before initial usage.
Steam ironing can be used in the temperature ranges ●, ●●, ●●● MAX. For the reliable functioning of the steam ironing, the water tank must be at least ¼ filled.
Spraying function: Press the spray button to moisten a spot to be ironed. Water will come out of the spray nozzle.
Steam Function : Turn the steam control knob to the required position after preheating the steam iron first, steam starts coming out from the holes in the soleplate.
A burst of steam: Turn the temperature regulator to the position “MAX”. The indicator light will go off when the required temperature is reached. Then press the burst of a steam button. This function provides an extra amount of steam to remove stubborn wrinkles. For optimal use, please allow the appliance to have a rest of 3 – 5 seconds between each press.
“Burst of steam” can also be applied when holding the iron in a vertical position, which is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, etc.
The iron surface just always kept in an upright position. To turn it off, turn the temperature regulator counterclockwise to “OFF” and pull out the power plug.
Turn the appliance upside down and carefully pour the remaining water out of the water tank. Carefully shake the appliance.
Press the spray button to allow the possible remaining water to come out more easily.

ANTI-DRIP FUNCTION
The appliance has an anti-drip system, designed to prevent water from escaping from the soleplate when the iron is too cold.

ANTI-CALC FUNCTION
The water tank is designed with an anti-calc function to filter the hard water and reduce the limescale.

SELF-CLEAN FUNCTION
You can use the self-clean function to remove scale and impurities. The self- clean function should be used at least once per month. If the water is very hard in your area, use the self-clean function every two weeks.

• Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
• Set the steam control knob to position
• Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
• Select the maximum ironing temperature.
• Put the plug in the wall socket.
• Unplug the iron when the temperature indicator light goes off.
• Hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the self-clean button and gently shake the iron to and fro. (Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate. Impurities and flakes (if any) will be flushed out).
• Release the self-clean button as soon as all water in the tank has been used up. Repeat the self-clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before cleaning the iron ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has completely cooled down.
•  Deposits on the soleplate may be removed with a rough cloth soaked in a vinegar water solution.
•  The casting may be wiped with a damp cloth and then polished with a dry one.
• Do not use abrasives on the soleplate.
• Keep the soleplate smooth. Avoid hard contact with metal objects.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY CUT-OUT
If the built-in thermostat becomes defective, the power supply is automatically cut off in order to prevent overheating of the iron. If this happens, contact an authorized electrician/ service center for repair or replacement.
