when it has cooled down completely.
• Always unroll the power cable fully
before switching on and do not use
an extension cord.
• Never touch the power cable or the
power plug with wet hands.
• Never place the steam iron on edges,
for example table edges. It could tip
and fall down.
•
Stand the steam iron only on its back
end, or lay it in the support tray provi-
ded on the ironing board. Never lean
the hot iron against walls or other ob-
jects. There could be a risk of fire
breaking out.
• Under no circumstances should you
submerge the steam iron in any liquid
or permit liquids to penetrate into the

defective appliance to be checked and
possibly repaired by qualified techni-
cians, or contact our Customer Service
Department.
• Arrange for defective power cables to
be replaced immediately by qualified
technicians, or contact our Customer
Service Department.
•
Never use the steam iron adjacent to
water contained in a bath, shower,
wash basin or other vessels. The proxi-
mity of moisture presents a danger,
even when the appliance is switched
off.
• You may not open the housing of the
steam iron. Arrange for a defective
steam iron to be repaired only by a
qualified specialist workshop or by
the Customer Service Department.
• Should the steam iron fall to the
floor, become otherwise damaged, or

Tell children about the appliance and
its potential dangers so that they do
not play with it.
• Remove the storage cover, sticker or
any protective items from the solepla-
te ´.
• It is important to remove any residues
of the polishing compound, used on
the soleplate ´, which may have lod-
ged in the steam vents. Using the
measuring cup ᕧ supplied, pour
water into the iron up to the MAX
line. Clean the steam vents by using
“Calc Clean” system. (See using the
Calc Clean Button ᕤ). When finished,
wipe the soleplate ´ with an old
cloth. Cotton swabs may be used to
clean and dry the steam vents.
• Some parts of the iron have been
slightly greased and as a result the
iron may smoke slightly when swit-
ched on for the first time. After a
short while, however, this will cease.
Open a window.
ƽ Important!
• Should the clothing care instructions
forbid ironing, (Symbol
), the clo-
thing item may not be ironed. If you
ignore this warning, the item could
be damaged.
• Do not fill the water tank with a li-
quid other than water. You will other-
wise damage the steam iron.
• You may not clean the steam iron
with solvents, alcohol or abrasive
cleaning agents. You could other-
wise cause damages.

Ironing tips
Water hardness
Ratios - distilled
water to mains
Sort the articles to be ironed according
to the fabric. Ironing instructions are
usually stitched onto an inside seam of a
garment and these should be followed
at all times. Start your ironing with the
fabrics requiring the lowest heat setting.
If you are unsure of the fibre content of
a garment, test a small area (a seam or
inside hem) before ironing. When in
doubt, start with low heat. If wrinkles
remain, gradually increase the heat to
find the best setting for good results
without damaging the fabric.

The water hardness level can be queried
at your local water works.
Auto shut-off safety feature
The automatic shut-off function ensures
that the iron is automatically shut off
after a standstill of 30 seconds in hori-
zontal position or 8 minutes in vertical
position.
How to fill with water
When the iron is automatically shut off,
the blue shut-off indicator light in water
tank ᕢ starts to flash.
If you move the iron gently back and
forth, it switches on again. The green
heater monitor light Ƹ comes on again
when the temperature at the sole plate
ᕥ drops below the set ironing tempera-
ture. Wait until the green heater moni-
tor light Ƹ goes out.
Check that the steam control gear µ is
in the dry position (position 0) when fil-
ling the water tank ᕢ.
Pull back the water tank lid ᕩ and fill
the tank to the “MAX” line. Do not
overfill. Check the water level in the
tank in the position shown.
The iron has then reached the set iro-
ning temperature and can now be used.
Use only clean mains water, without any
form of additive. Other fluids damage
the appliance. To extend the optimal
steam blast function, mix mains water
with distilled water according to the
table.

Steam ironing
You can adjust the steam easily with the
7 positions of the steam control gear.
Put the iron on the heel rest when rear-
ranging clothing or while not in use.
Steaming stops when the iron is placed

MAX marking line is not exceeded. Con-
nect the appliance to the mains power
supply again. The blue shut-off indicator
light in water tank ᕢ comes on.
Using the steam burst button
Be sure there is water in the tank ᕢ and
the temperature control knob ᕣ is on
steam.

The burst function can be also used
when the iron is held in vertical position
to remove creases from hanging clothes,
curtains, etc.
Using the calc clean button
It is important to use the Calc-Clean
function before putting the iron into
operation for the first time and then at
regular intervals in order to remove lime
particles and other impurities. We
recommend that the Calc-Clean function
is used at least twice a month. In areas
with very hard water, the iron should be
cleaned with the Calc-Clean function
after every use, or use distilled water.
• Fill the water up to “MAX” line in
water tank ᕢ.
Using the spray-button
Provided there is sufficient water in the
tank ᕢ, you can use the spray button ¸
at any temperature setting and when
steam or dry ironing. While ironing,
press the button ¸ several times to acti-
vate the pump.
• Insert the plug into the wall socket.
• Set the temperature control ᕣ to
MAX.
• Allow the iron to heat up until the
heating light Ƹ goes out and then
lights again.
• Remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
• Set the steam control gear µ to calc
clean position (0) then press and hold
the calc clean button ᕤ. The boiling
water and steam will drain from the
vents in the soleplate ᕥ. Impurities
and scale will be drained away with
the water.
Anti-scale system
The integrated anti-scale system reduces
the build up of lime scale and increases
the user life of your iron
• Move the iron backwards and for-
wards while draining the water.
• Release the calc clean button ᕤ once
all water has been drained out.
• Place the iron in the upright position,
plug it and then allow it to heat up.
• Carefully dry soleplate ᕥ by ironing
over a towel or old cloth to ensure
there is no remainder of the water
inside the steam chamber.
• Let the iron cool down completely
before storing it.

Drip-stop feature
Care and cleaning instructions
As indicated on the temperature control
• Ensure that the soleplate remains
smooth and unscratched by ironing
around on not over zippers, rivets or
any other objects which may scratch
the soleplate.
• The hardness of the water and its
minerals differs widely from region to
region. If the water in your area is
very hard, we recommend the use of
distilled water that is available in
retail stores in order to ensure the
optimum function of the iron. If you
do not use distilled water, clean the
iron regularly using the Calc-Clean
function (see section “Calc-Clean
Function”).
knob ᕣ, steam ironing
is only possi-
ble at higher ironing temperatures. With
conventional steam irons, water may
drip from the soleplate if an extremely
low temperature has been selected.
However, a new feature has been added
to this iron – ‘DRIP STOP’ steam shut-off.
This means that the iron will automati-
cally stop steaming at low temperatures.
When this happens, you will hear a
“CLICK”. Then set the temperature con-
trol ᕣ to the required temperature.
Steaming will recommence as soon as
the required temperature has been rea-
ched.
• Do not disassemble or repair your iron
yourself.
Using as a dry iron
• After each use, remove the plug and
let the iron cool down. Wipe the sole-
plate with a damp cloth and non-
abrasive (liquid) cleaner. Clean the
iron body with a damp cloth.
The iron can be used as a dry iron, even
if there is water in the water tank ᕢ. Do
not put water in the water tank ᕢ when
the iron is to be used as a dry iron for
many hours.
• Put the iron on the heel rest and then
plug the iron into the mains.
Emptying and storing the iron
• Turn the steam control gear µ to
“O”.
• Set the temperature control knob ᕣ
to the required temperature.
• When the heating light Ƹ goes out, it
indicates that the iron has reached
the required temperature.
• Slide the steam control gear µ several
times from 0 to the steam position
and back again (self-cleaning).
• Be sure the iron is unplugged first.
• Pour out any remaining water by sha-
king the iron.
• Make it a habit to empty the iron
after each use.
• Put the iron on the storage cover. Do
not use the storage cover while iro-
ning.
• Wind the power cord around the cord
winder. Do not wrap the power cable
too tightly!
