ment or on a heated oven. Do not
place on top of any other appli-
ance.
Repairs to this appliance, including
replacement of the mains cable,
may only be carried out by quali-
fied service engineers. Considera-
ble danger may result from

Customer Care Department or
your authorised dealer.
If the appliance is used for pur-
poses other than those intended or
used incorrectly, no liability can be
accepted for any damage that may
be caused.
This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including chil-
dren) with reduced physical, sen-
sory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge
unless they have been given initial
supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a per-
son responsible for their safety.
Child Safety
Never leave the appliance unat-
tended while in use. If children
come into contact with a hot
steam iron it could lead to serious
burns.
Keep children away from electrical
appliances.
Packaging material, e.g. plastic
bags, should not be accessible to
children.
Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
Safety in operation
The steam iron must be used and
rested on a stable surface.
When placing the iron on its stand,
ensure that the surface on which
the stand is placed is stable.
Caution! When in use, the sole-
plate and cover of the steam iron
reach high operating temperatures.
When steam ironing, steam is
emitted from the holes in the sole-
plate – risk of burns.
A steam iron takes approximately
30 minutes to cool down. Only
store the appliance once it is cool
and after emptying any remaining
water.
Do not wind the cord around the
soleplate while the steam iron is
still hot.
Always unplug the steam iron from
the power outlet before filling or
emptying the water tank.
Safety in cleaning and care
Follow the cleaning instructions.
Prior to cleaning, unplug the appli-
ance first and allow the steam iron
to cool completely.
Do not immerse the appliance in
water or any other liquid.
Operating
Twin element technology
Your steam iron contains two ele-
ments, one in the soleplate (Fig.
2/a) and another in the steam
chamber (Fig. 2/b).This technol-
ogy allows having steam perform-
ance even on one dot temperature
setting
• (synth)
. Steam generation
is independent of the soleplate
temperature. Unlike conventional
single element irons, the soleplate
temperature stays constant, as it is
unaffected by the continual inflow
of water from the steam valve and
steam jet pump.
Before first use
0 Remove any adhesive stickers,
plastic covers or cardboard slee-
ves from the soleplate.
0 Ensure that all adhesive is remo-
ved by rubbing the soleplate with a
cloth dampened with methylated
spirits.
0 Fill the water tank (see following
chapter) and empty the water. This
will rinse out any foreign particles
remaining from the manufacturing
process.
3
When turned on for the first time,
your new steam iron may give off
vapours for up to 10 minutes. This
is due to the initial heating of the

materials used. It is safe, not detri-
mental to the performance of the
steam iron, and will not reoccur.
Filling the steam iron with
water
1
Before filling the steam iron with
water ensure that the plug is
removed from the power outlet.
The steam iron can be filled with
water while it is hot.
0 Turn the steam selector (Fig. 1/E4)
to the Dry setting ( ).
0 Place the steam iron on its heel
and open the filling aperture cover
(Fig.1/D).
0 Using the beaker provided, slowly
pour water into the filling aperture
until the maximum water level (Fig.
1/B) is reached. Do not exceed the
maximum water level indicator.
0 Push the filling aperture cover
firmly to close.
3
It is safe to use tap water in your
steam iron. The anti-calc cartridge
removes minerals from the water,
preventing scale build-up. How-
ever, in extremely hard water areas
we recommend the use of distilled
or demineralised water.
1
Do not fill the steam iron with fab-
ric conditioner, starches or other
solutions as these will damage the
steam mechanism. Do not use
contaminated water.
Using your steam iron
0 Plug the power cable into a
220-240 V power outlet.
The LCD screen (Fig. 1/H) and the
orange temperature control light

the steam iron will automatically
switch itself off if left unattended. It
will switch off if left in the ironing
position for 30 seconds, or if it is
knocked onto its side for 30 sec-
onds (see Fig. 4/a). It will also
switch off if left unattended in the
upright position for 15 minutes
(see Fig. 4/b).
Should you leave the steam iron
unattended, the red temperature
control light (Fig. 1/E6) between
the +/- temperature buttons will
flash and a warning beep will
sound to alert you that the auto-off
function has been activated.
‘standby’ will appear on the LCD
screen (see Fig. 4/c).
Power to the steam iron’s heating
element will be cut and the steam
iron will start to cool.
0 To reset the safety auto-off feature,
simply move the steam iron.
The power to the steam iron’s ele-
ments will then reconnect and it
will begin heating again. Wait until
the green light illuminates before
recommencing ironing.
3
After 30 seconds the frequency of
the beep alarm will decrease.
Abnormal digital function
If you find that your steam iron is
incapable of steaming or that the
temperature control buttons have
become inoperable, a fault has
occurred.
In the event of a fault, the red tem-
perature control light (Fig. 1/E6)
located between the +/- tempera-
ture buttons will flash.
0 To reset the steam iron, simply
unplug the appliance from the
power outlet. After some seconds,
plug in again. The steam iron can
then be switched on again and
should operate normally.
If the fault persists contact the
Customer Care Department.

Ironing Guide
Selecting the ironing
temperature
0
Always read garment labels and fol-
low the manufacturer’s ironing
instructions. Refer to the Ironing
Chart on page 29 for temperature
recommendations.
Hints
Sort articles to be ironed according
to the type of fabric. This will
reduce the need to adjust the tem-
perature to suit varying garments.
Start with garments requiring lower
temperatures and work your way
through to items requiring higher
temperatures.
Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen
and silk are best ironed with an
ironing cloth to prevent shine
marks.
If you are unsure of the fabric con-
tent of a garment, test a small area
such as a seam or inside hem sec-
tion before ironing a visible area.
Start with a low temperature and
gradually increase the heat to find
the best setting for ironing the gar-
ment.
When reducing the temperature to
iron sensitive fabrics, allow
approximately 2 minutes for the
steam iron to cool to the new set-
ting.
Pure woollen fabrics (100 % wool)
can be steam ironed with the tem-
perature dial set to Wool. Use an
ironing cloth to prevent shine
marks on the fabric.
Never iron areas of a garment
where perspiration marks are visi-
ble, as the heat of the steam iron
will fix the stains, making them
permanent.
