Steam Ironing
Warning:
The iron expels a large quantity of hot steam. Danger of
burns.
Caution:
► When using the steam iron please ensure that the water
tank is always filled to the required level.
► The lime filter cartridge always has to be positioned in the
water tank, even if you use distilled water.
Caution: Initial Use:
Please proceed as follows:
► The tank should only be filled up to the maximum mark.
Do not overfill!
► Close the water tank and place it back in the base.
► Connect the base station to a 230 V/50 Hz socket with
earthing contact.
► Press the POWER button (5) to switch the device on.
► Set the desired temperature in the range "● ●" to "● ● ●".
The indicator on the iron lights up.
► Turn the steam control (6) to the highest position.
► Press and hold the steam button (1) for at least 1 minute.
Alternatively pull the steam lock (13) back to lock the
steam jet button (12). This time is needed for the steam to
reach the iron.
► Wait until the soleplate has heated up. Once the tempera-
ture has been reached the control lamp goes off.
Note On Steam Ironing:
Do not use the steam function if the temperature control is
set lower than "● ●". Water may leak from the soleplate.
Start ironing after starting up the appliance and filling the water
tank.

• Steam jet: Press button (12) on the iron.
• Continuous steam: Slide the locking lever (13) to lock
button (12) in place. Press and hold the steam button (1).
• Select amount of steam: Turn the steam control (6) to
select the amount of steam. Follow the abovementioned
settings.
Vertical Steam
This can be used to produce a jet of steam in a vertical
direction.
Warning:
Never point the steam jet at other people. Danger of burns.
Hang your laundry on a clothes hanger and move the iron to
approximately 5 -10 cm away.
How can I replenish the water during operation?
Refill with water before the tank is completely empty. The water
level is too low if the pump is noisy during operation.
• If you have been working with continuous steam, unlock the
continuous steam lock (13).
• Place the iron on the rest (10).
• Set the temperature control to "MIN".
• Press the POWER button to switch the device off and
disconnect it from the mains.
• In order to remove the tank, press the RELEASE button
below the water tank.
• Remove the lime filter cartridge.
• Fill the tank up to the maximum mark. Do not overfill!
• Close the water tank.
• Reinsert the lime filter cartridge and push the tank back into
the base.
• You can now continue ironing.
When you have finished

continuous steam lock (13).

Lime Filter
Your steam iron station comes with a lime filter. The granules
of the lime filter cartridge are light brown to orange when new.
Depending on your water hardness the lime filter cartridge is
used up after approx. 18 full tanks. The lime filter cartridge must
be exchanged if the granules are completely black.
• Switch the device off as described under "When you have
finished".
• Remove the water tank.
• Remove the lime filter cartridge.
• Fill the tank up to the maximum mark. Do not overfill!
• Replace the lime filter cartridge.
• Wait a few minutes before switching the device on again for
the lime filter cartridge to absorb water.
Note:
Continue ironing with distilled water if you have no lime filter
cartridge at hand.
Caution:
Leave the lime filter cartridge always attached!
