1. Make sure that the voltage in your power socket corresponds to the voltage on the product's label

and that the power socket is properly earthed. The power socket must be installed according to valid

safety regulations.

2. Never use the iron if the power cord is damaged. Have all repairs including power cord replace-

ment done in an authorised service! Do not remove protective covers from the product as

there exists a danger of injury by electric shock!

3. To avoid po tential injury by electri c shock, pro tect the applianc e from direct contact w ith wate r and

other liquids.

4. Do not use the steam iron outdoors or in a wet environment. Do not touch the power cord or the

product with wet hands. There is a danger of injury by electric shock.

5. The iron must not be used, if it fell and there is visible damage or if it leaks.

6. Pay extra attention if using the steam iron near children!

7. Iron should not be left in operation without supervision. Before ﬁlling the iron with water and before

emptying it ﬁrst disconnect the iron from the power socket.

8. We recommend that you do not leave the iron with the power cord inserted in the power socket

without supervision. Before carrying out maintenance pull the power cord out of the power socket.

Do not pull the plug out of the power socket by pulling on the cord. Pull the cord out of the power

socket by holding the power plug.

9. Do not use the iron near ﬂammable objects or under them, e.g. near curtains. Contact with hot

metal parts, hot water or steam may cause burns. When turning the iron over be very careful -

there may be hot water in the tank.

10. The power cord must not touch any hot parts or go over sharp edges.

11. Immediately after ﬁnishing using the product always disconnect it from the power source and before

storage allow it to completely cool down.

12. Do not use an chemical agents, aromatic substances, decalciﬁcation agents or accessories, which

Description

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before ﬁrst use check that the dual voltage is set to 230V!

Before putting into operation

First remove the protective foil from the ironing surface! The iron has to be used and set on a stable

surface.

When ironing for the ﬁrst time heat up the iron without water to the highest level. During thisa light

smoke and odour may come out of the ironwhich will however soon disappear. Then you may ﬁll the

water tank. Allow the iron after being ﬁ lled and heated to create steam for at least 1 minute andduring

this press the steam burst button several times, to remove potential remains from the manufacturing

process. Before ﬁrst use on your laundry we recommend that you test the iron on some ordinary cloth,

or wipe.

Filling the water tank

Before ﬁlling the water tank pull out the power cord plug from the power socket!

Turn the handle of the iron upwards (pic. 6) Set the temperature regulator to position "•". Hold the iron

in a tilted position and pour water into the ﬁlling opening up to the max. mark (pic. 2). Use only water

from a water tap. Using distilled or demineralized water may lower the effectiveness of the decalcification

system by change of the physical and chemical characteristics. Use the container enclosed with the

product for filling it with water. The iron may not be filled with water directly from the tap!

Setting temperature

First sort the laundry that you wish to iron according to the international symbols on the tags of the

laundry. If these are missing, sort the laundry according to the fabric type.

fabrics, that must not be ironed

We recommend that fabrics with unusual surface treatments (e.g. decorations, embroidery, prints, etc.)

are ironed at the lowest temperature.

If it is a compound fabric (e.g. 40% cotton, 60% synthetic), set the regulator according to the fabric

requiring the lower temperature.

If you do not know the composition of the fabric, set the temperature by carrying out a test on the least

visible part of the garment. Start with the lowest temperature and slowly turn it up until you achieve

the ideal temperature.

Never iron places with sweat stains etc. the heat from the iron will ﬁ x the stains to the fabric making it

impossible to remove them.

The removal of grease is more effective if you use a dry iron at medium temperature: excessive heat will

burn it and there is a risk that yellow stains will be created.

To prevent "shiny" stains forming on silk, wool or synthetics, iron them turned over from the inside.

To prevent "shiny" stains forming on velvet, iron it in one direction (along the ﬁ bre) and do not press

down on the iron.

The more laundry you put into the washing machine the more the laundry will be crinkled. Laundry

becomes more crinkled when spinning at high speeds.

For many types of fabrics it is easier to iron them if they are not fully dry. E.g. silk should always be ironed

damp.

Set the ironing temperature with the temperature regulator according to the type of fabric (pic 1). When

the indicator light is on it signals the heating up of the ironing surface. When the indicator light turns off

it means that the required temperature has been achieved and you may begin ironing.

While ironing the plate temperature indicator light will sometimes turn on, indicating the maintenance

of the set temperature. If after completing the ironing at a high temperature you lower the temperature

using the regulator, do not iron, until the iron surface temperature indicator light turns on again.

Note: Because cooling down takes longer than heating up, we recommend that fabrics requiring lower

temperatures are ironed ﬁ rst. This limits delays and eliminates the risk of burning through fabrics.

IRONING AND THE STEAM FUNCTION

Ironing without steam

When ironing without steam set the steam regulator to "min" and set the temperature according to

the fabric type.

Ironing with steam

To iron with steam, temperature should be set to the "••" position.

For the maximum steam amount we recommend that the temperature is set to "•••".

EN

Ironing with the steam burst

To iron out hard to remove creases with a strong steam burst slowly (thick diffusion) or quickly (ﬁ ne dif-

fusion) press the steam burst button [pic. 5].

For ﬁ ne fabrics we recommend that the fabrics are dampened or that a damp wiping cloth is placed

between the iron and the fabric before using the diffusion function. To prevent stains from forming, do

not use the diffuser on silk or synthetics.

Automatic steam emission function

To set the emission of steam corresponding to the temperature of the ironing surface, turn the steam

regulator to the on position.

Sprinkling function

After dampening hard to remove creases press the sprinkling function (pic. 4).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before any maintenance disconnect the product from the electric grid! Clean the product always on

a product that has fully cooled down!

All sediments, starch or conditioner remains can be removed using a damp (not wet) wiping cloth or

a gentle liquid cleaning agent and then dried using a soft dry cloth. Make sure you do not scratch the

ironing surface with steel wool or metal objects. Never clean the iron under running water, do not rinse

and do not submerge in water!

Before storing the steam iron always make sure that it has cooled down, it is clean and dry (empty the

water tank by turning the iron upside down (pic. 3). Press the handle folding button and fold it (pic. 7.).

Always store the iron in a vertical position.
