Preparing for use
Fastening the stand clamp
C1Fold out the clamp on the bottom of the stand and fix the
stand clamp to the ironing board or to another stable surface,
such as a tabletop.
The rubber feet on the bottom prevent the stand from slipping.
◗You can also place the stand on the ironing board without using
the clamp.The clamp can then remain folded in.
Do not place the stand close to the table edge, as the stand could
accidentally be knocked over.
Filling the water tank
1Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
2Set the steam control to 0 (no steam).
C3Set the mode switch to ∫(cordless ironing).
C4Take the iron from the stand.
5Place the iron on its heel and open the cap of the filling
opening.
C6Use the filling cup to pour water into the water tank and close
the cap of the filling opening afterwards.
If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with
an equal amount of distilled water or to use distilled water only.
Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indication.
Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or
other chemicals in the water tank.

Setting the temperature
C1Put the iron on the iron stand.
C2Set the required ironing temperature by turning the
temperature dial to the appropriate position (see section 'Tips'
for extra information).
Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:
C3Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.The temperature
light goes on to indicate that the iron is heating up.
◗The iron is hot enough when the temperature light goes out.
◗During ironing the temperature light goes on from time to time.
This indicates that the iron is heating up to the right temperature.
◗If you have been ironing at a high temperature and subsequently
set the temperature dial to a lower setting, wait until the
temperature light goes on again before you continue ironing.This
will prevent damage to your fabrics.
◗Some parts of the iron have been lightly greased.This may cause
the iron to give off some smoke when you switch it on for the
first time.After a short while, however, this will cease.
Tips
- If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the
temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest
temperature. For example: if an article consists of 60% polyester and
40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for
polyester (2) and without steam.
- If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,
determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will
not be visible when you wear or use the article.

fabric to prevent shiny patches.

little pressure.

such as those made of synthetic fibres.
