Water Advice
Suitable for tap water use. Advice to mix with equal portion
of distilled water or use only distilled water if the tap water is
very hard.
Self Clean
When the self clean button is pressed, a sudden release of
water into the soleplate loosen scale particles by thermal
shock. These particles are then flushed out through the steam
vents by the water.
Careeza Soleplate
Careeza is a multi-layer chemical substance that gives an
excellent gliding effect and better care for the garment.
Vertical Steam
When the iron is kept in a vertical position, the SOS button
can be used to iron hanging fabrics such as curtains.
Anti Drip
Water is only released into steam chamber via the tank
valve when the soleplate temperature is high enough. If the
temperature is too low, the tank valve is closed by means of a
bi-metal disc.
Auto-Shut-Off
The power to the heating element is cut off when the iron has
been motionless. The “Auto-Off” pilot light starts blinking.
When the iron is moved, it is automatically switched on.
Safety Light
A bright LED built into the water tank stays on as long as the
iron is plugged into a power socket. The LED light, obvious
from anywhere in the room, remind user that the iron is on.

suppliers and secured by glue. To avoid mal-function of the iron, NEVER adjust
the thermostat.

When replacing the back plate (typeplate is at the bottom), engrave at least the type
number & voltage on the typeplate with a sharp object.
- Parts with numbers from 103 and higher cannot be ordered separately.
