Using for the first time
Setting the temperature
(Figure 2)
Please note the internationally appli-
cable care symbols on garment labels.
On good quality garments they indi-
cate the correct ironing temperatures.
The ironing table indicates which tem-
perature is most appropriate for which
type of fabric. We recommend sorting
the washing first. Start with materials
that require low temperature ironing
(eg. PERLON). Follow on by ironing
materials that require progressively
higher temperatures. In this way you
avoid damaging sensitive fabrics by
using too high a temperature. The
power indicator lights up when the
appliance is switched on (Figure 1/J); It
goes off when the set temperature is
reached. However, if the temperature
selector (Figure 1/N) is turned back,
please note that it takes a while for the
soleplate to cool down. Only when the
power indicator light comes on again
has the soleplate reached the cooler
temperature.
Dry ironing
0Set the steam switch (Figure 1/F) to
position “0”(Figure 4/A).
0Turn the temperature selector to the
desired temperature.
Steam ironing
Filling the steam iron (Figure 3)
The water reservoir should only be
filled when the plug has been removed
from the socket.
0Set the steam switch to position “0”
= dry iron (Figure 4/A) and hold the
appliance upright.
0Fill the water reservoir at most to the
“MAX”mark. You can use the measur-
ing beaker (Figure 1/P) that comes with
your appliance to do this.
Water quality
You can use tap water up to a water
hardness level of 3 PPM, 17°dH (Ger-
man degrees of hardness). Your local
Water Authority can advise you on the
hardness of the water in your area. If
the water from your tap is harder than
the above, please use distilled water
available from a chemist or a mixture
of tap water and distilled water. Never
use battery water under any circum-
stances!
When using for the first time,
please note:
0Fill the reservoir with water; set the
steam switch (Figure 1/F) to position
“1”(Figure 4/B).
0Heat the appliance and place it with
the soleplate facing downwards on an
iron rest or plate (Figure 5) to allow the
water to steam through and activate
the steam chamber.
3You will obtain optimal steaming
results and the noise produced by the
steaming will be steadier after the
water reservoir has been filled and
drained three times.
Ironing with steam
To steam iron, set the temperature
selector (Figure 1/N) to the required
fabric type and wait until the power
indicator (Figure 1/J) goes out –only
then set the steam switch (Figue 1/F)
to position “1”(Figure 4/B). You will

g

find which temperature setting (fabric
type) matches which steam setting in
the ironing table. As soon as the iron is
held horizontally steam begins to form.
When the iron is set upright again the
steam supply stops automatically.
Spray function (Figure 6/A)
The first time you use the appliance, or
if you have not used it for a long time,
you will need to press the spray button
(Figure 1/G) several times before water
comes out of the spray nozzle
(Figure 1/D). You can also use the
spray function when dry ironing.
Super steam jet function
(Figure 6/B)
The super steam jet is of valuable
assistance when ironing, for example,
creases, embroidery etc. You can trig-
ger the additional steam jet both when
steam ironing and when dry ironing.
0Set the temperature selector (Figure
1/N) to the “MAX”position and wait
until the correct temperature has been
reached, i.e., until the power indicator
(Figure 1/J) goes out.
0Raise the steam iron a little away from
the material and press the steam jet
button (Figure 1/H).
Always wait another 5 seconds before
pressing the steam jet button again.
Steaming hanging articles
0Turn the temperature selector (Figure
1/N) to the “MAX”position and wait
until the power indicator (Figure 1/J)
goes out.
0Hang the article concerned on a
hanger and hold the steam iron at a
distance of 10 - 20 cm from the mate-
rial.
0Now press the steam jet button (Figure
1/H). Wait at least 5 seconds before
pressing the button again.
1Important: Do not attempt to freshen
up clothing whilst it is still being worn.
Risk of burns!
Storage
Remove the plug from the socket!
Set the temperature selector (Figure
1/N) to the “Cold”position (Figure 2/A)
and the steam switch (Figure 1/F) to
position “0”(Figure 4/A).
Empty out remaining water (Figure 7).
Store the appliance standing upright.
To store properly wrap the mains cord
around the cord storage (Figures 1/K
and 8).
Care and maintenance
Self-cleaning function
We recommend carrying out self-
cleaning every two weeks. However,
the period between self-cleaning
should be shorter for harder water
types.
Carry out the self-cleaning function as
follows:
0Unplug from the mains.
0Set the steam switch (Figure 1/F) to
position “0”(Figure 4/A).
0Fill the water reservoir (Figure 1/O) to
the “MAX”mark.
0Set the temperature selector (Figure
1/N) to “MAX”.
0Insert the plug into the socket.
0Wait until the power indicator (Figure
1/J) goes out.
0Pull out the mains plug.
0Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
0Set the steam switch (Figure 1/F) to the
“Self Clean”position (Figure 4/C) and
hold it firmly in place.
0Steam and hot water will now run out
of the steam exit holes (Figure 1/C).
Move the iron gently to and fro above
the sink until the water reservoir is
empty.
0Allow the iron to cool and wipe the
soleplate dry with a soft cloth.

Descaling
When using tap water for steaming,
lime is deposited in the steam cham-
ber; heavy deposits reduce the quan-
tity of steam produced. To descale use
lukewarm water and vinegar essence –
mixing ratio 1:1. Pour the mixture into
the cold appliance, ensuring first that
it is not connected to the mains.
Proprietory brands of descaler are
too aggressive and may not be used!
0Place the appliance horizontally on an
iron rest or plate (Figure 5). Set the
steam switch (Figure 1/F) to position
“1”(Figure 4/B) and allow all the mix-
ture to flow through.
0Afterwards repeat the procedure using
clear water and then heat the iron
briefly to allow the steam chambers to
dry. Your steam iron is now ready for
use again.
As a precaution we recommend descal-
ing every three months.
What to do, if ...
•no “Steam”appears when using on a
steam setting?
–In warm, dry air (during the winter)
a smaller jet of steam is normal
because it is taken up by the dry air
before condensing.
–Emptying the filled water reservoir
can wash out fluff. Remove the
mains cord and tip the filled appli-
ance forwards at an angle (Figure 7)
so that the water can run out of the
filling hole.
•drops of water come out of the steam
exit holes?
–Do not set the steam switch to posi-
tion “1”until the temperature for
steam ironing has been reached. If
the temperature has been set too
low for steam ironing increase the
setting.
•stains appear on the washing while
ironing?
–Clean the steam iron. Rub the sole-
plate while still warm with a water
and vinegar mixture or with a non-
abrasive cleaning fluid.
–When dry ironing fluff can enter the
steam chambers and carbonize. This
can lead to stains as the water
passes through. Therefore also clean
the inside of the water reservoir. Fill
it with water and gently shake the
steam iron. Then pour the water out.
•the soleplate is rough or furred?
The iron temperature was set too high.
–Select the correct ironing tempera-
ture for the fabric (see ironing
table).
2Protecting the environment
Do not simply throw packaging mate-
rial away.
•The cardboard packaging can be recy-
cled in the waste paper collection.
•Deposit the plastic bag made of poly-
ethylene (PE) at a PE collection point
for recycling.
•Padding materials are made of foamed
polystyrene (PS). They are CFC free.
Please inquire with your local authority
about your local recycling centre.
