PARTS IDENTIFICATION
BEFORE INITIAL USAGE
Remove all packaging material. Make sure the appliance is unplugged and the
temperature regulator is set at position “OFF”.
Fill water into the water inlet opening up to the max level marked on the
water tank. For this, use the measuring cup. Do not use chemically de-
calcified water.
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 position “ ” for steam ironing 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 of 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 with the lowest temperature. With lower temperatures,
there will be less steam.
Caution: Synthetic fabrics can melt.

DRY IRONING
- Connect the iron to a suitable mains supply outlet.
- Ensure that the steam control knob is in position “0” for dry ironing.
- 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 IRONING
- Fill the water tank, as described before initial usage.
- Steam ironing can be used in the temperature range ●●, ●●● MAX. For the reliable functioning of the steam ironing, the water tank must be at least ¼ filled.
- Select the setting on the temperature regulator.
- When the indicator light goes off, the required temperature is reached. The iron is ready for use.
- Set the steam control knob to position “ ” for steam ironing; steam starts coming out from the holes in the soleplate while ironing.
- The iron surface must always be kept in an upright position.
- To turn 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.
Notice: With conventional steam ironing, water may leak from the soleplate if a too low temperature has been selected. If this happens, turn the temperature regulator to the advised position. Steam will recommence as soon as the appropriate temperature has been reached.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRICITY INTERRUPTION FOR SECURITY
In case the installed thermostat gets out of order, the appliance will be
automatically cut off to avoid the overheating. If this happens, send the
appliance for repair.
SELF-CLEAN FUNCTION
According to the frequency of use it is recommended that you should monthly
clean the steam iron – this will increase the steam iron’s life span.
If the water is very hard in your area, use the self-clean function every two
weeks.
- Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
- Fill the water tank to the maximum level.
- Select the maximum ironing temperature.
- Put the plugin in the wall socket.
- Unplug the iron when the temperature indicator light goes off.
- Hold the iron over the sink, turn and hold the steam control knob to position “self-clean”, 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).
- Repeat the self-clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
CLEANING
- 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.
TIPS
Which type of water to use?
Your appliance has been designed to function with untreated tap water. If your
water is very hard, it’s possible to mix untreated tap water with storebought
distilled or demineralized water in the following proportion: 50% tap water /
50% distilled water.
Which type of water not to use?
The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that
can cause spitting, brown staining, or leakage: water from clothes dryers,
scented or softened water, water from air conditioners.
If problems occur?
Water drips from the holes in the soleplate.| The chosen temperature is too
low and does not allow for the formation of steam.| Position the thermostat to
the maximum
temperature setting.
---|---|---
You are using steam while the iron is not hot enough.| Wait until the control
light goes out.
You have stored the iron horizontal, without emptying it and without switching
off the steam function.| Empty the iron after each use, and store it vertical.
Brown streaks come through the holes in the soleplate and stain the linen.|
You are using chemical descaling
agents.| Do not add any descaling agents to the water.
Fabric fibers have accumulated in the holes of the soleplate and are burning.|
Let the iron cool down and clean the soleplate with a sponge. Vacuum the holes
of the soleplate from time to time.
Your linen has not been rinsed
sufficiently or you have ironed a new garment before washing it.| Make sure
that your laundry is rinsed
sufficiently so as to remove any deposits of soap or chemical products on new
clothes.
The soleplate is dirty or brown and can stain the linen.| You are ironing with
a too high temperature.| Let the iron cool down and clean the soleplate
with a sponge. Select the appropriate program.
The soleplate is
scratched.| You have placed your iron flat on a
metal rest-plate or ironed over a zip.| Always set your iron on its heel. Do
not iron over zips.
