Appliance based safety advice
• The operation of the steam iron generates high temperatures which may lead to burning and/or scald-
ing, i.e. upon contact with the hot base or contact with hot steam. Therefore only use the steam iron
with the handle provided. Also inform other users of the dangers.
• Never iron items of clothing which are already being worn.
• Never use steam with clothes or fabrics which are still being worn by someone or animals. The tem-
perature of the steam is very high!
• Ensure that the power cable is completely unrolled prior to each use, i.e. any twists and knots must be
removed before use.
• Chemically decalcified water, water from dryer and water with additives (such as starch, perfume,
conditioner or other chemicals) may not be used in the water tank. You may affect the steam proper-
ties and seriously damage the appliance, as this forms deposits in the steam chamber of the steam
iron. These deposits may lead to contaminants exiting the steam jets and damaging the item being
ironed.
• The use of external additives and any resulting damages to the appliance negate any warranty claims.
• When lling the water tank, only use tap water or equal parts tap water and distilled water.
• Do not use the appliance in proximity to ammable liquids and vapours.
• Remove the mains plug from the outlet before relling the water tank. Do not ll the water tank above the MAX
mark.
• Do not pull the power cable to remove the plug from the outlet, instead hold the plug and then pull it out.
Always remove the mains plug when the appliance is not in use.
• Avoid any contact between the power cable and the hot base.
• Only use the appliance to iron items of clothing and linen, not for any other purposes.
• Only use original accessories! Using non-original accessories results in an increased risk of accidents. There
is no liability for any accidents or damages resulting from the use of non-original accessories.
• Avoid any contact between the base and sharp metallic objects (i.e. buttons or zips) in order to prevent
damage.
• The appliance is not intended for use with an external timer or with a separate remote control system.

Temperature setting table
Your steam iron has 9 pre-set fabric types, each of which is linked to a specic temperature level. Each pre-set
fabric type corresponds to a temperature level. Please note that temperature levels 1-4 (acrylics to polyester)
may only be used without the steam function. The steam function may be used with levels 5-9 (blended fab-
rics to linen). The "Steam" indicator on the LCD display shows whether the steam function is active or not and
whether it can therefore be used or not. Most items of clothing have an international fabric care label which
states the temperature at which it should be ironed. 1 point on the label indicates "low temperature level", 2
points mean "medium temperature level" and 3 points means "high temperature level". In addition to the tem-
perature levels, the corresponding temperature points, as shown in the table below, are also shown on the LCD
display.

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 fol-
low 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 (M) 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 (M).
• 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 (A) 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 fab-
ric, 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.

Repeat the procedure as explained under point "steam jet" and complete the
steps 1 to 11. Please pay attention to the hints mentioned under point “steam jet”
as well.
Anti-limescale system
In order to extend the life of your steam iron, an anti-limescale cartridge has been built in. It reduces the forma-
tion of limescale and/or build-up in the steam outlets. These are cleaned using the self-cleaning function.
However, the anti-limescale cartridge does not completely prevent the natural limescale formation process.
Self-cleaning function
The self-cleaning function removes accumulations of limescale and minerals in the steam chamber.
After approx. 5 hours of using the steam function, the base (M) must be cleaned using the self-cleaning func-
tion. The symbol will be displayed on the LCD display (F).
Danger of scalding! Avoid contact with steam and/or hot water.
1. Fill the steam iron with cold water as described under "Filling the water tank" until the water tank is half full.
2. Place the steam iron on a flat surface in a vertical position.
