Tip:We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed
at a low temperature as the iron takes longer to cool
down than to heat up. For mixed fabrics set the tempe-
rature for the most delicate fabrics.

Ironing and Steam functions
E1 Dry ironing
Heat the appliance at the maximum setting without water
(see section D). A little smoke and a slight smell may be
emitted, but this is only temporary.

The water tank can then be filled directly with tap water
using a jug (see section C).

) to
and set the temperature to suit the type of
material (care points •, ••, •••).
Each time you begin ironing, allow the iron to emit
steam for at least 1 minute. During this time press the
powersteam button ( ) from time to time to release
several bursts of steam. Any particles released through
the soleplate during first use are harmless and are due to
the newness of your iron.
E2 Steam ironing
You can steam iron from temperature setting
up. The

steam quantity can be set to between
(minimum
steam quantity) and
(maximum steam). We recom-
mend setting to maximum steam quantity only when the
iron is set at temperature setting •••.

mum steam setting)

.
Important: Never steam or iron clothing that is being
worn!
• Hang up the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric
slightly taut with one hand.
• Set the thermostat control to maximum steam.
• Hold the iron a few centimetres away from the garment
to avoid burning delicate fabrics.
• Press the power steam button to generate a continuous
flow of steam, moving the iron from top to bottom.
If the steam flow weakens, it can be maintained by pres-
sing the button again approx. every 3 seconds. We
recommend briefly setting the iron down after 1 minute.
Before standing the iron on its heel, wait for the steam
flow to finish.
What water may be used?
Your iron has been designed to operate using tap water.
However, if your water is very hard, you can mix it 50 %
tap water with 50 % distilled or demineralised water.
Do not add anything to the contents of the water tank
and do not use water from clothes dryers, scented or
softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air
conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water. These
contain organic waste or mineral elements that become
concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown
staining or premature wear to your iron.
Important: Never direct the steam jet at persons or ani-
mals
Tip: Spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be
ironed.

• Fill the tank with tap water up to the maximum mark
and heat the iron to max. temperature.
• Unplug from the mains.
Using the temperature control ( ), set the iron tempera-
ture to suit the type of material. We recommend using
the above table as a guide. The thermostat light indicates
that the soleplate is heating up. When the light ( ) goes
out, the required temperature has been reached.
• Hold iron over a sink horizontally, push the steam con-
trol ( ) past the
position and into the "Self Clean"
position and hold it there: steam will now begin to build
up. After a few seconds water and steam will emerge
from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of

Problems?
I
• Insert mains plug and allow the iron to heat up again.
• Wait until the remaining water has evaporated.
• Unplug from the mains and allow iron to fully cool down.
• When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.
We recommend using the self clean function approx.
every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, the iron should
be cleaned weekly.

F2 Anti-scale system (depending on model)
Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale
deposits. This considerably prolongs the operational life

The Anti-Drip func-
