PRIOR TO FIRST USE
•Remove the protective film from the soleplate (12).
•Heat to maximum temperature and run over a damp cloth or similar for a few minutes before using on clothes.
•Some parts of the appliance 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 appliance has been used a few times.
USE
Filling with water (only for steam ironing)
•Disconnect from mains and turn the thermostat dial (10) to MIN (if the appliance has been connected).
•Remove water reservoir filler cover
(2) (see picture), and fill water to the MAX mark (11).
•Close the water reservoir cover.
Setting the temperature
•Push function button (3) to b. (see illustration below).
•Select the required iron temperature using the temperature control dial:

|
| acrylic, etc.) |
|

|
•• | Wool, silk | |
|

•Stand appliance upright. Plug in and switch the power on.
oThe orange thermostat lamp (9) will light and the display (6) will show
current temperature.
•Do not start ironing until the thermostat light (9) goes out.
oThe thermostat light switches on and off during ironing, as
the thermostat regulates the temperature of the appliance.
oIf you turn the temperature up using the temperature control dial the thermostat lamp will light. Do not continue ironing until it 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 appliance is not hot enough to convert all water to steam.
•Check that there is sufficient water in the reservoir.
•Turn the thermostat button the required position (at least •• ), and wait until the light goes out.
•Push the function selector backwards or forwards to select
steam setting (see picture). You can choose between the following settings:
a.Automatic cleaning (see ‘Cleaning’ section)
b.No steam (not visible on picture)
c.Minimum steam
d.Maximum steam
The appliance produces continuous steam from the
soleplate at settings c. and d. Start steam ironing.
oPush the function selector to setting b to switch to dry ironing.
Spray function
This function moistens the item you are ironing when you want to remove creases.
•Press the spray button (5). The appliance pumps spray from the spray nozzle (1).
Dry ironing
Dry ironing uses the same method as steam, but the function selector should be in position b.
Steam shot function
The steam shot function can be used to remove dirt or folds from hanging clothes, curtains etc.
•Set the function selector to maximum steam (setting d.).
•Hold the appliance vertical close to the material to be ironed and press the steam shot button (4).
