Getting Started / Features
Ironing instructions
Ironing tips
• First sort the items to be ironed according to the sensitivity of the fabrics and sort them according to the
corresponding temperature levels. Most items of clothing have an international fabric care label; always
follow the manufacturer's instructions. 1 point on the label indicates "low temperature level", 2 points mean
"medium temperature level" and 3 points means "high temperature level".
• The base (10) heats up more quickly than it cools down. Therefore begin with fabrics which are ironed at a
lower temperature level and continue with fabrics which require a higher temperature. This minimizes the
temperature regulation procedure.
• Synthetic fabrics may melt if they are ironed at too high a temperature. If in doubt, always select a lower
temperature.
• If you want to reduce the temperature again while ironing, only begin ironing heat-sensitive fabrics when the
display for the temperature level after the temperature reduction is constant and the signal has sounded.
This will ensure that the selected temperature level has been attained.
• It is best to iron critical materials such as acrylics, nylon, silk or wool using an ironing cloth in order to avoid
marks from the base (10).
• For blended fabrics, set the temperature according to that which requires the lowest temperature. For ex-
ample, for a wool-nylon blend, nylon requires the lowest level. In this case set the temperature for nylon.
• If possible, test the setting on a small area of the fabric (reverse, inside).
• For the first use, it is recommended that you use an old towel.
• For sensitive fabrics, ensure that the Steam jet button (2) on the steam iron is pressed simultaneously with
the beginning of the ironing.
• For wool, it is enough to refresh the fabric with steam. This will refresh the fabric and ensure that the fibres
remain elastic. Direct contact between the fabric and base of the iron is usually not required.
• In general, the external side of the fabric is ironed, unless the resulting shine is undesired. One exception is
t-shirts with prints, which should be turned inside-out. Loden fabric and velvet may be ironed on the outside
and in the direction of the fibres.
• If you use washing and/or ironing starch, this should only be sprayed on the reverse side of the fabric. That
is to say on the side that is not ironed, so that no starch remnants stick to the base of the iron. Washing and/
or ironing starch stuck to the base of the iron make ironing more difficult.

Ironing base with ionic coating
Your steam iron has an ironing base with a special ionic coating. While the ironing base is passing over the
fabric, the ionic coating generates ions as a result of the gentle friction. This means that during ironing
negatively-charged particles, so-called ions, are given off. These ions neutralize the positively-charged
particles in the fabric and reduce the static charge. The fabric relaxes and feels softer and smoother. In
conjunction with the steam function, the ions mean that the water droplets on your laundry are separated into
many smaller droplets which penetrate much further into the fibre structure of the fabric and make it much
smoother. The iron glides smoothly over the fabric and even stubborn wrinkles can be removed without trouble
thanks to the relaxed structure and be ironed out much more quickly than with conventional ironing bases.
Fill the water tank
– Ensure that the mains plug is not inserted into the electrical socket.
– Open the lid of the water tank (5).
– Fill the water tank to the "MAX" marking with cold tap water or
distilled water and tap water mixed at at 1:1 ratio. The "MAX"
marking is located on the side of the transparent water tank
of the appliance.
– Re-close the lid of the water tank.

Instructions
Use of the steam iron
Dry ironing
1. Set the stem regulator (9) to position .
2. Set the desired temperature according to the type of fabric to be ironed.
The steam iron is ready for operation as soon as the number for the temperature level stops blinking and an
audible signal sounds.
Ironing and spraying
This function is available at any time, independently of any settings.
Requirements: Water tank must be full.
1. Aim the spray nozzle at the desired spot on the clothing.
2. Press the jet button (3), repeatedly if necessary.
This function can, for example, moisten areas with stubborn wrinkles and thereby make ironing easier.
Ironing with steam (Temperature levels 5-9)
Risk of scalding!
Water steam reaches very high temperatures.
– Therefore, only use the steam function with great care!
– Never use the steam function with items of clothing that are currently being worn on the body!
Steam ironing
Requirements: Water tank must be full.
1. Set the steam regulator (9) to
Position or higher.
2. Set the desired temperature according to the type of fabric to be ironed
(Temperature levels 5 to 9).
3. Only iron until the water tank is empty and no more steam is being
produced.

Steam jet
The increased steam generation caused by the steam jet is primarily suited for
linen and wool as well as for dealing with severely crumpled items. Hold the steam
iron at a suitable distance from the item being ironed. This will avoid damaging the
fabric. The vertical steam jet delivers an additional measure of steam, for example
to smooth fabrics in a hanging position such as hanging drapes or other hanging
or stretched items of clothing without any contact with the ironing base.
Requirements: Water tank must be full.
1. Set the steam regulator (9) to position or higher
2. Set the desired temperature according to the type of fabric to be ironed
(Temperature levels 5 to 9).
3. Press the steam jet button (2). The steam will shoot out from the holes in the
ironing base (10) into the fabric being ironed and remove the creases.
4. For severely creased items repeat the process as necessary. Do not press the
steam jet button (2) more than three times in a row.
5. Only use the steam jet function until the water tank is empty and no more
steam is being produced.
6. Turn the appliance off and unplug it from the mains. Refill the water. Careful, the appliance remains very
hot even after being switched off.
It may be necessary to press the steam jet button repeatedly in order to activate this function. After the
desired temperature level is attained, do not press the steam jet button more than three times in a row.
This will allow you to achieve optimal steam jet results. We recommend that you only use the steam jet
at temperature levels 5-9.
Anti-limescale system
In order to extend the life of your steam iron, an anti-limescale cartridge has been built in. It reduces the
formation and depositing of limescale in the steam nozzles and is cleaned using the self-cleaning function.
However, the anti-limescale cartridge does not completely prevent the natural limescale formation process.
Self-cleaning
The self-cleaning function removes accumulations of limescale and minerals in the steam chamber. After ap-
prox. 5 hours of steam operation or, at the latest, when the "Self-cleaning" symbol (B) appears on the display,
the ironing base (10) and/or the steam chamber must be cleaned using the self-cleaning function.
Danger of burns!
Avoid contact with steam and/or hot water.
Requirements:
– Water tank must be full.
– Temperature is set to temperature level "9".
1. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
2. Turn the steam regulator (9) to position and hold this position. Steam and boiling water will escape
through the holes in the base. This will rinse out the limescale deposits and accumulations which have

17
After Sales Support

formed in the steam chamber.
3. Use the self-cleaning function until no more steam and/or hot water escapes.
4. Turn the appliance off and unplug it from the mains. Place the steam iron on the stand (11) and allow it to
cool.
5. Clean the base (10) with a moist, well wrung-out towel.
Anti-drip function
The anti-drip function prevents water from dripping from the base if the temperature
is still too low to generate steam. You will notice the anti-drip function thanks to the
clicking noise, especially during heating or cooling. This is normal and only serves to
indicate when the appliance is completely ready for use.
Auto-shutoff function
The auto-shutoff function automatically switches the steam iron off, in both horizontal and vertical positions, if
it has not been used for a longer period of time.
Auto-shutoff in a horizontal position:
1. The power supply is interrupted after 30 seconds when the steam iron is placed flat.
2. The Pause symbol is displayed blinking on the LCD display (4) and the LCD display (4) light is switched
off.
3. If the steam iron is moved, it will switch back on automatically.
Auto-shutoff in a vertical position:
1. The power supply is interrupted after approx. eight to ten minutes when the steam iron is placed on the
vertical stand.
2. The Pause symbol is displayed blinking on the LCD display (4) and the LCD display (4) light is switched
off.
3. If the steam iron is moved, it will switch back on automatically.
Turn off appliance
1. Press button (7) "Increase temperature" for approx. three seconds. The LCD display (4) turns off and an audible signal
will sound.
2. Remove the mains plug from the electrical socket. Pull the plug, not the mains lead.

FAQ
• Question: I would like to iron my silk blouse using the steam function. I have therefore set temperature level
3, but no steam is coming from the ironing base, why not?
• Answer: Please note that the steam function can/may only be used at temperature levels 5-9. Temperature
levels 1-4 are intended for dry ironing.
• Question: Hardly any steam is coming from the ironing base and limescale deposits can be seen on the
steam vents. How can I remove the deposits and ensure problem-free steam operation?
• Answer: In this case you should use the appliance's self-cleaning function. Proceed according to the instruc-
tions in the "Self-cleaning" section of this instruction manual.
• Question: The appliance is giving off a clicking sound. Can I still use it or should I have it repaired?
• Answer: The clicking sound is caused by the appliance's anti-drip function, which prevents water droplets
from escaping from the ironing base when the temperature has not yet reached the level required for steam
generation. This is completely normal and is not a reason to worry. Wait until the required temperature has
been reached, at which point you may use the appliance as usual.
