Notes on Use
Unpacking
• Remove any protective foils and stickers from the sole
plate.
• Please unwind the lead completely.
Electrical Connection
• Make sure that the iron voltage (see name plate) and the
line voltage match.
• The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly
installed socket with earthing contact.
Connected Wattage
The maximum power consumption of the appliance is
1800 W. With this connected load a separate supply line
protected by a 16 A household circuit breaker is recom-
mended.
CAUTION: Overload!
• If you use extension leads, these should have a cable
cross-section of at least 1.5 mm².
• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this appliance is
too powerful.

settings:

maximum temperature
• Turn woollen clothes inside out to avoid shiny spots on
the fabric due to steam ironing. In addition, lay a thin
cotton cloth onto the fabric.
• Select a low temperature setting for fabrics with addi-
tional surface treatment and iron them inside out.
NOTE:
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Start ironing
with the lowest temperature setting.
Water
• Please use only distilled water.
• Do not ll battery water, water from the clothes dryer
and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume,
softener or other chemicals) into the water reservoir.
• This could damage the iron due to residues forming in
the steam chamber. These residues may cause impu-
rities to the fabric when dropping out of the holes in the
sole plate.

• Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please
pass the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.
