Environment protection first !
Your appliance contains valuable materials which can

Keep these instructions
BEFORE USE
1 • Unpacking
Take the iron out of the box and remove all the stickers.
IMPORTANT Before doing anything else, remove the soleplate
protector (fig.1)!
2 • What water may be used ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water up
to 17° dH (German water hardness). If in doubt, check with your local
water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix
50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.
IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in
water during evaporation.The types of water listed below
contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause
spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance:-
water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water
from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled

or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in
your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.
3 • Using for the first time
Plug in the iron (fig.2) and set the temperature control dial (fig.3)
to ••• to heat the appliance.
A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this is only
temporary.
Unplug the iron (fig.4) and fill the water tank (§ 4 Filling the
water tank).
To remove any impurities in the iron's steam chamber, unplug the
iron and hold it over a sink horizontally. Push the steam control into
the Self Clean position : steam will now begin to build up.
After a few seconds water will emerge from the soleplate,
rinsing any impurities out of the steam chamber (fig.5).
Move the steam control to steam position after approx.
1 minute. Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again.
Wait until the remaining water has evaporated. Unplug from the
mains and allow the iron to fully cool down.
USE

max mark (fig.7). Close the filler inlet (fig.8) and return the iron to
the horizontal.
5 • Setting the temperature
Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using the
temperature control dial (fig.3).
Temperature control*:The temperature control light indicates that
the soleplate is heating up.When the temperature control light goes
off (fig.9), the set temperature is reached and you can begin ironing.
