Drip-stop feature Care and cleaning instructions

As indicated on the temperature control knob , steam ironing is only possi- ble at higher ironing temperatures. With conventional steam irons, water may drip from the soleplate if an extremely low temperature has been selected. However, a new feature has been added to this iron – ‘DRIP STOP’ steam shut-off. This means that the iron will automati- cally stop steaming at low temperatures. When this happens, you will hear a “CLICK”. Then set the temperature con- trol to the required temperature. Steaming will recommence as soon as the required temperature has been rea- ched.

Using as a dry iron

The iron can be used as a dry iron, even

if there is water in the water tank	. Do
not put water in the water tank	when

the iron is to be used as a dry iron for many hours.

•Put the iron on the heel rest and then plug the iron into the mains.

•	Turn the steam control gear to
	“O”.
• Set the temperature control knob
	to the required temperature.
•	When the heating light goes out, it
	indicates that the iron has reached
	the required temperature.

•Ensure that the soleplate remains smooth and unscratched by ironing around on not over zippers, rivets or any other objects which may scratch the soleplate.

•The hardness of the water and its minerals differs widely from region to region. If the water in your area is very hard, we recommend the use of distilled water that is available in retail stores in order to ensure the optimum function of the iron. If you do not use distilled water, clean the iron regularly using the Calc-Clean function (see section “Calc-Clean Function”).

•Do not disassemble or repair your iron yourself.

•After each use, remove the plug and let the iron cool down. Wipe the sole- plate with a damp cloth and non- abrasive (liquid) cleaner. Clean the iron body with a damp cloth.

Emptying and storing the iron

• Slide the steam control gear several times from 0 to the steam position and back again (self-cleaning).

•Be sure the iron is unplugged first.

•Pour out any remaining water by sha- king the iron.

•Make it a habit to empty the iron after each use.

•Put the iron on the storage cover. Do not use the storage cover while iro- ning.

•Wind the power cord around the cord winder. Do not wrap the power cable too tightly!
