PRIOR TO FIRST USE
• Remove the protective film from the
soleplate (12).
• Some parts of the steam iron were
oiled during manufacture and these
will therefore smoke slightly when the
iron is first used. This is entirely safe,
and the smoke will disappear once the
steam iron has been used a few times.
Test it on a piece of material or similar
before using it on any clothing.
USE
Filling with water (only for steam ironing)
• Set the temperature control dial (10) to
MIN position.
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Lift the water reservoir cover (13
– see also image to right) and fill with
water (max. 300 ml), using the refilling
container (2) if necessary.
• Close the water reservoir cover.
Setting the temperature
• Select the required iron temperature
using the temperature control dial:
• 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 thermostat
light (9) goes out. The thermostat 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 temperature control dial, you
should not continue ironing until the
thermostat light goes out.
Steam ironing
Steam ironing is only possible at high
temperatures. Do not use steam ironing
when the temperature control dial 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 temperature control dial to the
required position (at least ••).
• Plug in. Start ironing once the
thermostat light goes out.
• Turn the steam setting selection knob
(3) to select the steam setting. You can
choose between the following settings:
a. Automatic cleaning (see ‘Cleaning’
section)
b. No steam
c. Minimum steam
d. Maximum steam
• The steam iron produces continuous
steam from the soleplate at settings c.
and d. Begin steam ironing.
• Turn the steam setting selection knob
to setting b. to stop continuous steam.
Spray function
This function moistens the item you
are ironing when you want to remove
creases.
• Press the spray button (5). The steam
iron pumps spray from the spray nozzle
(1).
Dry ironing
You can dry iron in the same way as
steam ironing, except the steam setting
selection knob must be in position b.
Tip!
• Always stand the iron upright when
taking a break from ironing!
• Always iron synthetic fabrics and silk
on the reverse side. This prevents shiny
spots on the fabric.
• The steam shot 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 mode. We recommend using
the setting for maximum steam, with a
layer of dry fabric between the steam
iron and the item to be ironed.
