Never direct the steam at persons or animals!

E5 Spray function

F Additional functions

F1 Anti-Drip system

Prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the temperature is too low.

F2 Anti-scale system

Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and need not be replaced.

Do not use descaling agents, as these damage the lining of the steam chamber and so may impair the steam function.

F3 Automatic electronic 3-position cut-out (depending on model)

If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it will automatically switch off after the following intervals:

After 30 sec., if the iron is standing on the soleplate or lying on its side.

After 8 mins., if the iron is standing on its heel.

The LED display starts to flash yellow-green-red in regular sequence. If the appliance is moved, it will automatically switch on again and begin to heat up again.

G After ironing

•Unplug from the mains, pour away remaining water and set steam control to . Then allow the appliance to cool down.

•Store the iron standing on its heel.

•Do not wind the cord round the hot soleplate.

H Cleaning and maintenance

When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as required.

Dirt can be removed from the soleplate with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects.

Important: If the appliance has been standing unused for long periods, hold it horizontal and allow it to emit steam for approx. 1 minute to clean the steam ducts and remove any residue from the iron.
