BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using the iron for the first time, begin by ironing a piece of old fabric to ensure that the soleplate

and water reservoir are clean. Repeat this when the iron has not been used for a period of time. The

appliance may emit a little smoke and a characteristic smell when you switch it on for the first time. This is

normal, and will soon stop. Make sure the appliance has sufficient ventilation

USE - Fillig the water reservoir

1. The appliance can be filled with water before and during use. You can do that by opening the water

tank lid (8) and using the supplied measuring cup. You can also take out the water tank (7), fill under

the tap and then reinstall it.

2. Fill the water tank with a maximum of 0.8 litres of clean tap water.

WARNING:

• Never fill by holding the complete appliance under a running tap. There is a good chance that water

will flow over the casing and into the appliance.

• If you live in an area with hard water, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water.

• Never add a stain remover or other additives to the water.

• Leave the device steaming ( for ca. 20 sec) before every use by pushing the steam release button (3)

to remove calcium deposits.

USE - Placing the water tank

Make sure the water tank is placed correctly. Press it downwards with the help of the ‘wings’ on the side,

so the tank becomes lodged in its notch

USE - Dry ironing

1. Insert the plug (13) into the wall socket.

2. Turn on the main on/off switch (11) by switching it to position 1. The pilot light turns on.

3. Turn the iron temperature control dial (2) to the desired position (see the table in ‘Ironing instructions’).

The pilot light (9) turns on.

4. Place the iron in a vertical position (upright) and wait until the pilot light (9) goes out. The iron is now

ready to iron.

Iron the fabric by sliding the iron over the fabric. While you are ironing, the heating element will

automatically switch on and off to keep the soleplate at the set temperature. The pilot light (9) will,

therefore, also turn on and off automatically.

5. After use, rotate the iron temperature control to the 0 position, turn off the main on/ off switch by

switching it to position 0. Remove the plug from the wall socket. Place the iron in a vertical position

and allow it to cool down.

4. Turn the boiler temperature control (12) to MAX. The pilot light (10) turns on.

5. Turn the iron temperature control dial (2) to the desired position (see the table in ‘Ironing instructions’).

The pilot light (9) turns on. The iron will be ready for use when the pilot light goes out and the

temperature is reached.

6. When both pilot light go out, you can start steam ironing.

WARNING:

• When the steam pilot light (10) lits, you must wait until the boiler has built up sufficient steam pressure

again.

• The steam spray of this product can only be smooth after pressing the steam iron button for several

times.

• Leave the device steaming (for ca. 20 sec) before every use by pushing the steam release button (3)

to remove calcium deposits.

EN

WARNING:

• If the temperature is too low, drops of water can escape with the steam. This can cause stains. If this

does happen, you should turn the temperaturecontrol dial to the recommended position. Never iron

whilst there are drops of water on the soleplate.

USE - Vertical steam ironing

You can also release steam when the iron is held vertically, for example, to clean fabric. The best result is

achieved by ironing in two stages: moisten the article of clothing with steam first by holding the soleplate

approximately 20 cm above the clothing. Use more steam if the item of clothing contains a lot of creases.

Next, iron the item of clothing dry.

USE - Ironing instructions

• Before ironing a garment check whether the garment has a label with ironing directions. Always follow

the instructions on the label. The following table explains the meaning of symbols that may be shown

on the label.

• You can also use the following table when the garment does not have a label but you do know which

fabric was used to make the garment.

•••

Steam iron. Use more steam the thicker the fabric. Turn dark

and embroidered clothing inside out.

Linen Steam iron. Use a lot of steam and turn dark clothing inside

out to prevent a shiny appearance. Do not iron lapels and

cuffs inside out.

• The prescribed temperature settings are applicable solely to the specified fabrics. Fabrics with a

glossy or raised surface should be ironed at a lower temperature.

• Sort the fabrics by ironing temperature, i.e. wool with wool, cotton with cotton, etc. Begin by ironing the

garments that need to be ironed at a lower temperature before moving on to the garments that need

to be ironed at a higher temperature. This is advisable because the iron heats up faster than it cools

down.

• Iron garments containing a mixture of fabrics, for example 60% polyester and 40% cotton, at the

lowest temperature – in this example, the ironing temperature for polyester.

• When ironing garments made from an unknown fabric always begin at a lower temperature. Test the

iron on a concealed area, for example an area on the inside of the garment.

• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) can be pressed using steam. Preference is given to the use of a dry

37

EN

cloth between the iron and the wool. It is best to press wool on the inner surface of the fabric.

• Always iron velvety fabrics and other fabrics that readily become shiny in one direction; apply gentle

pressure to the iron.

• Never iron over zips, etc. These can scratch the soleplate.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Rinsing the tank

Rinsing the tank monthly reduces limescale and lengthens the lifespan of your device.

1. Make sure the tank is empty and completely cooled down.

2. Fill the tank for up to three quarters with cold water.

3. Shake the tank thoroughly so the insides will be rinsed completely.

4. Empty the tank. For the best result, repeat these steps several times.

WARNING:

• For optimal results it is best to rinse the tank when it hasn’t been used for at least a few hours.

• Never use descaling agents, cleaning acids or vinegar in your rinsing water. Simple tap water will

suffice.

• Rinse the tank after every tenth use. If the area you live in has particularly hard water, it is

recommended to rinse more frequently and use distilled or bottled water.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Make sure the boiler and the soleplate have cooled down and the plug has been removed from the

wall socket.

2. Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth. Never use a descaling agent.

3. Store the iron.

WARNING:

• Never use metal implements or scourers to clean the soleplate; otherwise the soleplate could be

damaged.

• Never immerse the appliance, plug or power cord in water.

• Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to

clean the appliance.
