USE
Filling with water (for steam ironing)
•Set the thermostat knob (8) to 0 position.
•Remove the plug from the socket.
•Lift the water reservoir lid (2), and fill with water (max. 120 ml), using the refilling container (11) if you wish.
•Close the water reservoir lid.
Setting the temperature
•Select the required iron temperature using the thermostat knob:
•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 indicator light (7) goes out. The indicator 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 thermostat button, you should not start to iron until the indicator light goes out.
Steam ironing
Steam ironing is only possible at high temperatures. Do not use steam ironing when the thermostat knob 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 thermostat knob to the required position (at least ••).
• Plug in. Start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.
• Turn the steam setting selection knob
(4)to select the steam setting. You can choose between the following settings:
0 No steam
Minimum steam Maximum steam Cleaning (see ‘Cleaning’ section)
•The steam iron gives off continuous steam from the soleplate in settings 2 and 3. Begin steam ironing.
•Turn the steam setting selection knob to 0 to stop continuous steam.
Spray function
This function moistens the item you are ironing when you want to remove crea- ses. The function cannot be used unless there is water in the reservoir, or when the indicator light is on.
•Press the button for the spray function
(3). The steam iron gives off spray from the spray nozzle (1).
Dry ironing
You dry iron in the same way as you steam iron, except the steam setting selection knob must be in position 0.
Tips!
•Always stand the iron upright if you take a break from ironing!
•Always iron synthetic fabrics and silk on the reverse. This avoids shiny spots on the fabric.
•The steam 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 position. We recommend using the setting for maximum steam, with a layer of dry fabric between the steam iron and the item to be ironed.
CLEANING
•Remove the plug from the socket before cleaning.
•Pour any excess water from the water reservoir.
•Stand the steam iron upright, and allow it to cool completely.
•Remove starch etc. from the soleplate using a damp cloth with a little detergent. Wipe off with a dry cloth.
•Never use a scouring sponge or abrasive cleaning agents on the soleplate.
•We recommend that you clean the steam iron thoroughly once a month as follows:
o Fill the water reservoir half full and stand the steam iron upright.
o Set the thermostat knob to position
•••, plug the iron in and switch on the power.
o Wait until the indicator light goes off. Unplug the iron and hold it horizontal above a sink.
o Turn the steam setting selection knob to the cleaning setting and lift it.
