PRIOR TO FIRST USE
•Remove the protective film from the soleplate (12).
•Some parts of the steam iron were oiled during manufacture and these will therefore smoke slightly when the iron is first used. This is entirely safe, and the smoke will disappear once the steam iron has been used a few times. Test it on a piece of material or similar before using it on any clothing.
USE
Filling with water (only for steam ironing)
•Set the temperature control dial (10) to MIN position.
•Remove the plug from the socket.
•Lift the water reservoir cover (13
– see also image to right) and fill with water (max. 300 ml), using the refilling container (2) if necessary.
•Close the water reservoir cover.
Setting the temperature
•Select the required iron temperature using the temperature control dial:
• Synthetic fabrics (nylon, polyester,
acrylic, etc.)
•• Wool, silk or blends
••• Cotton or linen
•Place the steam iron on its end, so it stands upright. Plug in and switch the power on.
•Do not start ironing until the thermostat light (9) goes out. The thermostat light switches on and off during ironing,
as the thermostat regulates the temperature of the steam iron.
•If you turn the temperature up using the temperature control dial, you should not continue ironing until the thermostat light goes out.
Steam ironing
Steam ironing is only possible at high temperatures. Do not use steam ironing when the temperature control dial is at position •. If you do, water runs out from the soleplate because the steam iron is not hot enough to convert all the water to steam.
•Check that there is sufficient water in the reservoir.
•Set the temperature control dial to the required position (at least ••).
•Plug in. Start ironing once the thermostat light goes out.
•Turn the steam setting selection knob
(3) to select the steam setting. You can choose between the following settings: a. Automatic cleaning (see ‘Cleaning’
section) b. No steam
c. Minimum steam d. Maximum steam
•The steam iron produces continuous steam from the soleplate at settings c. and d. Begin steam ironing.
•Turn the steam setting selection knob to setting b. to stop continuous steam.
Spray function
This function moistens the item you are ironing when you want to remove creases.
•Press the spray button (5). The steam iron pumps spray from the spray nozzle
(1).
Dry ironing
You can dry iron in the same way as steam ironing, except the steam setting selection knob must be in position b.
Tip!
•Always stand the iron upright when taking a break from ironing!
•Always iron synthetic fabrics and silk on the reverse side. This prevents shiny spots on the fabric.
•The steam shot function can also be used when the steam iron is held upright. This is useful if you want to remove marks or creases from hanging garments, curtains, etc.
•Wool products (100% wool) may be pressed when the steam iron is set to steam mode. We recommend using the setting for maximum steam, with a layer of dry fabric between the steam iron and the item to be ironed.
