Important safety instructions
∙Do not leave the steam iron
unattended while connected. Always
remove the plug from the wall socket,
even if you leave the room only for a
short while.
∙Do not use the iron if it has been
dropped onto a hard surface, or
if it shows any sign of damage or
leakage.
∙The iron must be used and stored on
a stable and durable surface only.
∙Even with the iron placed on its back
rest, ensure that this too is on a
stable and durable surface.
∙In order to avoid hazards, repairs
to this electrical appliance or its
power cord must be carried out by
our customer service. If repairs are
needed, please send the appliance
to our customer service department
(see appendix).
∙Before cleaning the appliance,
ensure it is disconnected from the
power supply and has cooled down
completely.
∙To avoid the risk of electric shock, do
not clean the appliance with water
and do not immerse it in water.
∙Before refilling or emptying the water
GB

10
reservoir, remove the plug from the
wall socket.
∙This appliance may be used by
children (at least 8 years of age) and
by persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or
lacking experience and knowledge,
provided they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance and fully
understand all dangers and safety
precautions involved.
∙Children must not be permitted to
play with the appliance.
∙Children must not be permitted
to carry out any cleaning or

least 8 years of age.
∙While switched on or still cooling
down after use, the iron and its
power cord must be kept well away
from children under 8 years of age.
∙Caution: Keep any packaging materials
well away from children – these are
a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙Do not operate the appliance if excessive
force has been used to pull the power
cord. Damage cannot always be detected
from the outside; the entire unit should
therefore be checked by a qualified
technician before it is used again.
∙The appliance operates at very high
temperatures. Do not touch any part of
the appliance except the handle. Burns
can occur from touching the hot parts of
the housing or the soleplate and from hot
water or steam. Do not allow steam to
escape in the direction of anyone nearby.
When operating the steam iron, hold only
by the handle.
∙The iron should only be placed on
heat-resistant surfaces, never near hot
surfaces (eg hot-plates) or in the vicinity
of open gas flames.
∙Do not allow the power cord to touch
hot surfaces. Do not coil the power cord
round the appliance.
∙Always remove the plug from the wall
socket
-after use,
-in case of any malfunction,
-before cleaning the appliance.
∙When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙No responsibility is accepted if damage
results from improper use, or if these
instructions are not complied with.
∙This appliance is intended for domestic or
similar applications, such as
-in shops, offices and other similar
working environments,
-in agricultural working environments,
-by customers in hotels, motels etc. and
similar establishments,
-in bed-and breakfast type environments.
Filling with water
Fill the water reservoir before using the
steam function or the spray nozzle. Remove

11
the plug from the wall socket before filling
the reservoir.
∙This steam iron is to a large extent
resistant to hard water (up to 15º dH).
Although normal tap water may be
used, it is advisable to use distilled,
demineralised or decalcified water.
Should you be unsure about the hardness
of the water in your area, please enquire
of the relevant local authority department.
∙Turn the steam control button to its „0“
position.
∙Push the release button for the water
reservoir and remove it by pulling it out
from the front.
∙Open the cover of the water fill hole.
∙Fill the empty water reservoir using
the measuring cup provided. Fill to the
indicated “Max” level only.
∙Close the water fill hole.
∙Fit the water reservoir to the iron from the
front and make sure that it locks properly
into place.
General information about ironing
Always check first whether a label with
ironing instructions is attached to the article
to be ironed.
∙The meaning of the ironing symbols is as
follows:
• synthetics
(low temperature)
•• silk and wool
(medium temperature)
••• cotton and linen
(high temperature)
∙These markings can also be found on the
temperature control knob of the steam
iron in form of dot symbols.
∙Laundry to be ironed should be
sorted according to the fabric ironing
temperature. Follow the ironing symbols
and start with the lowest temperature.
∙When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or
if you are not sure about the fabrics, you
may carefully test-iron at a non-visible
point, e.g. inside of seam. Start with the
lowest temperature.
∙If the laundry is being dried in a dryer
before ironing, the temperature should be
adjusted to “iron dry”. Very dry fabrics are
difficult to iron.
Start up
Clean the steam iron before using for the
first time, according to the instructions given
in the paragraph General Care and Cleaning
- Self-cleaning system. This will result in the
removal of possible dust particles from the
soleplate and subsequently lessen the smell
typically encountered when first switching
on.
Please ensure sufficient ventilation.
Ironing
∙Steam ironing requires high temperatures.
The temperature level for steam ironing
is indicated on the temperature control
knob.
∙After filling the reservoir with water, place
the steam iron upright on its base stand
and insert the plug into the wall socket.
∙Set the temperature control knob to the
required ironing temperature as indicated
by the ironing symbols.
∙During the heating-up process the
indicator lamp will be on. The lamp will go
out once the required ironing temperature
is reached.
∙Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate
should be cleaned by passing it over an
old, clean cotton cloth, while using the

12
steam jet function; this helps to flush out
any dirt residues or lint particles trapped
inside the openings in the soleplate.
∙The steam output can be continuously
adjusted with the steam control button or
completely switched off for dry ironing (0).
∙For dry ironing, the water reservoir may
be empty. Should there be water left in
the reservoir, the steam jet function may
also be used when dry-ironing at higher
temperature settings.
∙Place the steam iron upright on its base
stand after use and remove the plug from
the wall socket.
Steam Jet
When the steam jet button ( ) is
depressed, an additional hot steam jet is
emitted from the soleplate. This function
can be very useful when removing stubborn
creases.
The steam jet function may also be used
with the iron held vertically, to restore the
surface of fabrics.
For a sufficiently strong steam jet, the
reservoir must be at least a quarter full.
Spray nozzle
The laundry can be dampened by pressing
the spray button ( ). This will help to
smooth out difficult areas. The spray nozzle
may be used at any temperature level during
dry or steam ironing.
General Care and Cleaning
∙Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
∙To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do not
immerse it in water.
∙If necessary, the unit may be wiped with a
dry fuzz-free cloth.
∙Starch, fat and other deposits on the
soleplate may be removed with a woollen
cloth soaked in a vinegar-water solution.
∙Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
∙Do not put vinegar or other descalers into
the water reservoir.
Self-cleaning system
The self-cleaning system flushes out loose
mineral deposits and keeps the appliance
free of lime and dust particles. Self-cleaning
should be performed if the iron has not
been used for an extended period of time,
or otherwise every 10-15 days. Proceed as
follows:
∙Fill the water reservoir up to the maximum
level mark with water.
∙Place the iron on its base stand and insert
the plug into the wall socket.
∙Set the temperature control to its
maximum.
∙Wait until the indicator lamp goes out.
∙Remove the plug from the wall socket.
∙Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
∙With the self-cleaning button ( )
pressed, swing the iron lightly to and
fro until no more steam or hot water is
emitted.
∙Pour out any remaining water from the
reservoir.
∙Allow the soleplate to cool down before
cleaning it with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Storage
∙Turn off the steam iron, remove the plug
from the wall socket and let the unit cool
down completely.
∙Pour any remaining water out of the

13
reservoir through the water fill hole.
∙To avoid damage to the soleplate, store
the steam iron in upright position on its
base stand.
