NOTICE – Risk of Damage to Material and Property

• Only connect the device to a plug socket with safety contacts that is properly installed and matches the technical data of the device. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Please note!

• Never pour any descaling or cleaning agent or other chemical additives into the water tank. This may destroy the device and safe working is no longer guaranteed.
• Never pour more than 700 ml (two measuring cups filled up to the MAX marking) of water into the water tank.
  • Water residues in the water tank are attributable to the fact that this device has been tested and do not constitute a defect.
  • Only ever use distilled water with the device to prevent calcification and damage to the device.

1. Make sure that the device is not connected to the mains power and has cooled down sufficiently if used previously.

2. Fill the measuring cup up to the MAX marking with water.

3. Open the water tank cover (4) by pressing on the cover on the left.

4. Pour the water from the measuring cup into the water tank (5). Here too you should note the MAX marking.
   For the best results, we recommend pouring no more than 350 ml into the water tank for each steaming process.

5. Flip the water tank cover back down again.

ASSEMBLY

1. Plug the telescopic rod (2) into the recess on the top of the motor unit (6).
2. Place the hanger (1) onto the telescopic rod. When you do this, make sure that the slight bend in the hanger points forwards. The hanger must audibly engage on the telescopic rod. The drip guard (10) must be located directly above the fan (3). It prevents any water that may drip down from being able to get into the fan.
3. Attach the balloon:
   • Pull it over the hanger. When you do this, make sure that the side with the hole line points forwards.
   • Pull the small elastic cord at the top over the collar section (12) on the hanger.
   • Pull the large elastic cord at the bottom over the mounting flange (9). The device is disassembled in the reverse order.

USE

Please note!

• Always place the device with sufficient clear space above it and on all sides on a dry, flat, solid, water-resistant and heat-resistant surface.
• The device must not be left unattended during operation.
• Be aware that the clamps with integrated weight may likewise become hot during use. Allow them to cool down suitably before they are detached from the item of clothing.
• Let the device cool down after every pressing process.
• It is essential that you follow the care labels for the textiles which are to be dried / smoothed!

For the best results, the device should ideally be used in a room that is as cool as possible. We recommend a maximum room temperature of 25 °C.

1. Set the height you want. To do this, open the clip (11), pull out the telescopic rod (2) and then close the clip again. We recommend pulling the telescopic rod out to its maximum height.

2. If the item of clothing is to be steamed, fill the water tank (5) (see the “Filling the Water Tank” chapter).

3. Pull on the balloon (see the “Assembly” chapter). The balloon should sit immediately below the mount-ing flange (9) so that it can fully inflate.

4. Pull the garment which is to be pressed over the balloon and the hanger (1) and do up the buttons if necessary. Make sure that

   • the collar is fitted over the collar section (12) on the hanger,
   • any button strip is over the hole line on the balloon,
   • the arms of the balloon fit properly in the sleeves of the garment and are not twisted or scrunched up,
   • all buttons on the garment (including on the sleeves) are done up.

5. Spread the clamps along the bottom of the garment (at the front and back in each case on the outsides and in the middle on the button strip at the front) so that it is weighed down and will not go out of shape when the balloon is inflated.

6. Insert the mains plug into an easily accessible plug socket. The device switches on and on the control panel (8) the symbols (18) and (15) light up.

7. Select the programme you want by touching the appropriate symbol on the control panel:

   • pressing programme without steaming (intended for damp textiles)
   • pressing programme with steaming (intended for dry textiles)
     On the control panel, the symbol for the program you want and the arrow symbols (14 + 17) light up. The symbol (16) flashes.

8. Use the arrow symbols to set the operating time you want (max. 30 minutes). 1 bar represents 1 minute of operating time here.
   When setting the time for the pressing programme with steaming, please note that the process of steaming the garment takes approx. 7 minutes and only then does the pressing process start. An operating time of approx. 12 – 15 minutes should therefore be set.

9. Touch the symbol to start the pressing process. It is now permanently lit. The symbol for the set programme flashes.
   The lighting of the control panel switches off after approx. 40 seconds. To reactivate it, touch the middle of the control panel.

10. Once the balloon has inflated, straighten out the garment and smooth it down again.
    The pressing process can be paused at any time by touching the symbol. When the process is interrupted, the symbol flashes.If the operating time for the pressing process is to be adapted, use the and symbols to extend or shorten the operating time. Then touch the symbol again to continue the pressing process. If during the pressing programme with steaming the operating time is adapted, this change only affects the pressing process and not the steaming! Example : The operating  time is set to 15 minutes. The process is interrupted after 3 minutes and the operating time is extended by 5 minutes. After the process resumes, the steaming still only takes 5 minutes, and not 8.
    PLEASE NOTE: After switching to the pressing programme with steaming, the steaming always starts again and lasts 8 minutes!

11. The device stops automatically after the set operating time has elapsed. The control panel goes out and the device switches to stand-by mode.
    If the operating time should be ended prematurely, press the symbol to pause the process and the symbol until there is no longer any bar lit up on the operating time display (13). The control panel goes out and the device switches to stand-by mode.

12. Remove the garment from the balloon and hanger.

13. Pull the mains plug out of the plug socket and allow the device to cool down completely.

Tips

• If in the pressing programme without steaming hand-washed or non-machine-spun laundry is to be pressed, allow it to dry first.
• The pressing process without steaming takes around 10 minutes for a spun-dried shirt. However, the length of time can vary depending on the material and thickness of the material. We recommend that you start with a shorter time and extend it if neces- sary.
• The pressing process with steaming takes around 15 minutes for a dry shirt. Here too the time may vary depending on the material and thickness of the material.
• The balloon for shirts and blouses can be enlarged or reduced in size with the zips. For smaller sizes, the zips should be closed. For larger sizes, the zips should be opened on both sides.
• Wide-apart buttons may result in the button strip crimping slightly during pressing. Here it is advisable to smooth down the button strip again by hand immediately after the pressing process.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Please note! Do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning pads for cleaning. These may damage the surface.

• Clean the device and the balloon if necessary with a slightly damp cloth and a little mild detergent if required. Then wipe with a dry cloth.
• Empty the water tank (5) if the device is not going to be used for a long time or before storing it away. To do this, remove the balloon and telescopic rod (2) take the device apart and tilt the motor unit (6) so that the water can escape from the steam outlet openings beneath the mounting flange (9).
• Allow all parts to dry completely before storing them away.
• Store the device in a clean, dry place which is protected from sunlight and is not accessible to children and animals.
