Ironing tips

Sort the articles to be ironed according to the fabric. Ironing instructions are usually stitched onto an inside seam of a garment and these should be followed at all times. Start your ironing with the fabrics requiring the lowest heat setting. If you are unsure of the fibre content of a garment, test a small area (a seam or inside hem) before ironing. When in doubt, start with low heat. If wrinkles remain, gradually increase the heat to find the best setting for good results without damaging the fabric.

How to fill with water

Check that the steam control gear is in the dry position (position 0) when fil- ling the water tank .

Pull back the water tank lid and fill the tank to the “MAX” line. Do not overfill. Check the water level in the tank in the position shown.

Use only clean mains water, without any form of additive. Other fluids damage the appliance. 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.

Auto shut-off safety feature

The automatic shut-off function ensures that the iron is automatically shut off after a standstill of 30 seconds in hori- zontal position or 8 minutes in vertical position.

When the iron is automatically shut off, the blue shut-off indicator light in water tank starts to flash.

If you move the iron gently back and forth, it switches on again. The green heater monitor light comes on again when the temperature at the sole plate

drops below the set ironing tempera- ture. Wait until the green heater moni- tor light goes out.

The iron has then reached the set iro- ning temperature and can now be used.
