Water
Use only tap water or 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 impurities to the
fabric when dropping out of the holes in the soleplate.
Operation
Before Initial Use
• 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.
Ironing without steam
Note:
Sort out the garments according to their ironing temperatures.
• Place the iron on the rest (6).
• Unlock the handle if still in carry position as described under
“Handle Function”. The device can only be switched on with
the handle in a downward position.
• Only connect the machine to a properly installed safety
socket, 230 V/50 Hz. The red POWER icon
lights up on
the display.
• Set the temperature with the SETTING button (2). Observe
the previous table. If you have sensitive items to iron,
please begin with the lowest temperature.
Note:
► The selected fabric type lights up blue and starts ashing
slowly. The iron heats up. The operating temperature is
reached as soon as the blue indicator stops ashing and
an acoustic signal is emitted. Now you can start ironing.
► The ironing temperature is electronically controlled during
use. The device heats up if the blue indicator on the
display starts ashing slowly.
• Always switch the device off and disconnect it from mains
power supply after use.
Steam Ironing
W arning:
The iron expels a large quantity of hot steam. Danger of
burns.
Caution:
► When using the steam iron please ensure that the water
tank is always lled to the required level.
► The lime lter cartridge always has to be positioned in the
water tank, even if you use distilled water.
Caution: Initial Use:
Please proceed as follows:
► The tank should only be lled up to the maximum mark.
Do not overll!
► Close the water tank and place it back in the base.
► Connect the base station to a 230 V/50 Hz socket with
earthing contact.
► Unlock the handle if still in carry position as described un-
der “Handle Function”. The device can only be switched
on with the handle in a downward position.
► Set the temperature with the SETTING button (2).
Observe the previous table.
► Wait until the soleplate has heated up. The operating
temperature is reached as soon as the blue indicator
stops ashing and an acoustic signal is emitted.
► Now press the steam jet button (3) for at least 1 minute
or until steam comes out of the soleplate of the iron.
This time is needed for the steam to reach the iron. A
somewhat louder noise from the pump is normal.
Note On Steam Ironing:
► Setting “1. NYLON” is not intended for steam ironing (see
table).
► The amount of steam is electronically controlled. It is
based on the ironing temperature (fabric type setting).
► The ironing temperature is electronically controlled during
use. The device heats up if the blue indicator on the
display starts ashing slowly.
Always switch the device off and disconnect it from mains
power supply after use.
Vertical Steam
This can be used to produce a jet of steam in a vertical
direction.
W arning:
Never point the steam jet at other people. Danger of burns.
Hang your laundry on a clothes hanger and move the iron to
approximately 2-3cm away.
