Using your appliance
Type of water to use
This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However,
if you live in an area with hard water, fast scale build-up may occur.
Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water (50%
demineralized/distilled water mixed with water could be used as well) to
prolong the lifetime of the appliance.
Do not add perfume, water from the tumble dryer, vinegar, starch,
descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other
chemicals, as they may cause water spitting, brown staining or
damage to your appliance.

Vertical ironing
Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove creases
from a garment that someone is wearing. Do not apply steam near
your or someone else’s hand.
You can use the iron in vertical position to remove wrinkles from hanging
fabrics.
1 Hold the iron in vertical position, press the steam trigger and touch
the garment slightly with the soleplate.
Putting down the iron during ironing
- During ironing, you can place the iron either on the iron platform
or horizontally on the ironing board. Thanks to the OptimalTemp
technology, the soleplate will not damage the ironing board cover.
Energy saving
ECO mode
- By using the ECO mode (reduced amount of steam), you can save energy
without compromising on the ironing result. The green light is on.
- You can deactivate the ECO mode by pressing the ECO button. The

Ironing tips
Minimising wrinkles while drying
Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out your
laundry properly after washing and by putting garments on hangers to
make them dry naturally with fewer wrinkles.

IMPORTANT – Descaling the soleplate
If you do not use the EASY DE-CALC function regularly, scale particles
may build up in the soleplate and brown stains may come out of the
soleplate during ironing. In this situation, you need to descale the
soleplate by following the procedure below. We advice you to repeat
the procedure twice to better clean the soleplate.
To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down
for at least two hours before you descale the soleplate.
1 Remove the plug from the wall socket.
2 Place the appliance on the edge of the tabletop.
3 Make sure that the water tank is empty.
4 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350ml) under the EASY DE-
CALC knob and turn the knob anticlockwise.
5 Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scale
