Filling with water
Fill the water reservoir before using the
steam function or the spray nozzle. Remove
the plug from the wall socket before fi lling
the reservoir.
∙ This steam iron is to a large extent
resistant to hard water (up to 15º dH).
Although normal tap water may be
used, it is advisable to use distilled,
demineralised or decalcifi ed water.
Should you be unsure about the hardness
of the water in your area, please enquire
of the relevant local authority department.
∙ To prevent water from dripping from the
sole plate, ensure that the steam control
button (5) is closed. It should be opened
only once the temperature level required
for steam ironing [as indicated on the
temperature control knob(2)] has been
reached.
∙ Open the cover of the water fi ll hole.
∙ Fill the empty water reservoir using the
measuring cup provided. Fill the reservoir
to the indicated "Max" level only.
∙ Close the water fi ll hole.
Anti-drip function
If the temperature of the soleplate is not
suffi cient to produce steam, the water supply
is cut off automatically to prevent dripping.
General information about ironing
Always check fi rst whether a label with
ironing instructions is attached to the article
to be ironed.
∙ The meaning of the ironing symbols is as
follows:
•
synthetics
(low temperature)
••
silk and wool
(medium temperature)
12
••• cotton and linen
(high temperature)
∙ These markings can also be found on the
temperature control knob of the steam
iron in form of dot symbols.
∙ Laundry to be ironed should be
sorted according to the fabric ironing
temperature. Follow the ironing symbols
and start with the lowest temperature.
∙ When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or
if you are not sure about the fabrics, you
may carefully test-iron at a non-visible
point, e.g. inside of seam. Start with the
lowest temperature.
∙ If the laundry is being dried in a dryer
before ironing, the temperature should be
adjusted to "iron dry". Very dry fabrics are
diffi cult to iron.
Start up
Clean the steam iron before using for the fi rst
time, according to the instructions given in
the paragraph "General Care and Cleaning
- Self-cleaning system". This will result in the
removal of possible dust particles from the
soleplate and subsequently lessen the smell
typically encountered when fi rst switching
on.
Please ensure suffi cient ventilation.
Ironing
∙ Steam ironing requires high temperatures.
The temperature level for steam ironing
is indicated on the temperature control
knob.
∙ After fi lling the reservoir with water, place
the steam iron upright on its base stand
and insert the plug into the wall socket.
∙ Set the temperature control knob to the
required ironing temperature as indicated
by the ironing symbols.
