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 temperature for the most delicate fabrics.
E Ironing and Steam functions
E1 Dry ironing
To iron without continuous steam, turn the steam control (➌) to the 
position and set the temperature to suit the type of material (care points •, •• or •••).
E2 Steam ironing
You can steam iron by setting the temperature in the marked steam zone (after ••).The steam quantity can be set to between 
(no steam position) and 
(maximum steam quantity). We recommend setting to maximum steam quantity only when the iron is set at temperature setting •••.
E3 Shot steam button (temperature setting after •• in the steam zone)
To generate a powerful jet of steam to remove stubborn creases, press the power steam button.
Vertical steam ironing (temperature setting after •• in the steam zone)
Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts, han- ging curtains etc.
Important:
Never steam or iron clothing that is being worn!
•Hang the garment on a hanger
•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 repeatedly, moving the iron from top to bottom
The power steam and vertical steam functions (E3) are also possible to use if the steam control is set to the 
position. The interval between bursts of steam should be about4 seconds.
Important: Never direct the steam at persons or animals! Do not touch delicate fabrics with the hot soleplate!
E4 Spray function
To dampen stubborn creases, press the spray button.
F Additional functions
F1 Self Clean – prolongs the life of the iron
The Self clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.
To operate:
•Fill the tank with untreated tap water up to the maxi- mum mark and heat the iron to max. temperature.
•Unplug from the mains.
•Hold iron over a sink horizontally, push the steam control (➌) past the 
position and into the Self Clean posi- tion 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 the steam chamber.
