• Insert the power plug 7into a correctly installed
and earthed mains power socket.
• Hold the steam brush horizontally.
• Place the temperature regulator 3at 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 1with 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.
The water hardness level can be queried at your
local water works.
Attention!
Before refilling with water, ALWAYS remove the
plug 7from the mains power socket! There is a
risk of electric shock!
• Dismantle the water tank 1by sliding the unlocking
device 4for the water tank 1to the rear, until
the water tank 1allows itself to be lifted out. To
lift the water tank 1up, grasp it between your
thumb and forefinger at the shaded markings.
• Open the water fill opening 2to the water tank 1.
• Using the measuring beaker t, fill the water
tank 1with mains water to the "Max" marking,
but no further.
• Close the water fill opening 2to 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 1properly closed.
Water hardness Ratios - distilled
