•Insert the power plug 7 into a correctly installed and earthed mains power socket.
•Hold the steam brush horizontally.
•Place the temperature regulator 3 at the position "MAX".
•Heat the steam iron up for several minutes at the highest setting.
•Then iron a redundant piece of material, this will remove any impurites that may possibly be on the sole of the iron 0.
Note:
On the first heating up of the appliance a small volume of smoke and smell may be generated, caused by production residues. This is completely normal and is not dangerous. Provide for sufficient ventilation, for example, open a window.
Operation
Information
•Should the care instructions in the clothing item
forbid ironing (Symbol 
), you may not use the steam brush on it. If you do so, the clothing
item could be permanently damaged.
•Do NOT use the appliance on leather, velvet, im- pregnated furniture or steam sensitive materials. If you do, the material/furniture could become damaged.
Filling with water
Attention!
NEVER fill the water tank 1 with chemical substances, cleaning agents or fluids other than mains water (or a mix of mains and distilled water) .
Do not use chemically distilled water. This would irreparably damage the appliance.
Should the mains water at your locality be rated as hard, it is recommended that you mix mains water with some distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for the steam blast function could calcify (become blocked) prematurely.
To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix mains water with distilled water according to the table.
Water hardness | Ratios - distilled |
water to mains water | |
|
|
very soft / soft | 0 |
|
|
medium | 1: 1 |
|
|
hard | 2: 1 |
|
|
very hard | 3: 1 |
|
|
The water hardness level can be queried at your local water works.
Attention!
Before refilling with water, ALWAYS remove the plug 7 from the mains power socket! There is a risk of electric shock!
•Dismantle the water tank 1 by sliding the unlocking device 4 for the water tank 1 to the rear, until the water tank 1 allows itself to be lifted out. To lift the water tank 1 up, grasp it between your thumb and forefinger at the shaded markings.
•Open the water fill opening 2 to the water tank 1.
•Using the measuring beaker t, fill the water tank 1 with mains water to the "Max" marking, but no further.
•Close the water fill opening 2 to the water tank 1. Ensure that the lug on the water fill opening 2 sits in the indentation on the lid. Only in this way is the water tank 1 properly closed.
