Important safety instructions
●Do not use the iron if it has been
dropped onto a hard surface, or shows
any other sign of damage, or is seen to
leak water.
●The steam travel iron is not suitable for
regular domestic use.
●Great care is necessary when using any
appliance, especially near chil-dren. Do
not leave the steam iron unattended
while connected or on an ironing board.
Always remove the plug from the wall
socket and place the steam iron on its
base stand.
●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. When operating the
steam iron, hold only by the handle. Do
not allow steam to escape in the direction
of anyone nearby.
●The iron must be used and stored on a
stable and durable surface only.
●With the iron placed on its base stand,
ensure that this too is on a stable and
durable surface.
●Do not allow the power cord to touch
hot surfaces. Do not coil the power cord
round the appliance.
●Always switch off and remove the plug
from the wall socket after use, and also
-in case of any malfunction,
-during cleaning.
●Before the appliance is used, the main
body including the power cord as well as
any attachment fitted should be checked
thoroughly for any defects. Should the
appliance, for instance, have been
dropped onto a hard surface, it must no
longer be used: even invisible damage
may have adverse effects on the
operational safety of the appliance.
●The power cord should be regularly
examined for any signs of damage. In the
event of such damage being found, the
appliance must no longer be used.
●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.
●Before refilling or emptying the water
reservoir, remove the plug from the wall
socket.
●When removing the plug from the wall



socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
●This appliance is not intended for use by
any person (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lacking experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
●Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
●No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
●This appliance is intended for domestic
use only and not for commercial
applications.
●In order to comply with safety
regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs
of electrical appliances must be carried
out by qualified personnel, including the
replacement of the power cord. If repairs
are needed, please send the appliance to
one of our customer service departments.
The addresses can be found in the
appendix to this manual.
Foldable handle
Before the iron is used, fold the handle
upwards until it locks securely into the
operating position.
After use, the handle can be folded down for
space-saving storage by pressing the release
button.
Steam switch
With the steam function activated, an
additional hot steam jet is emitted from the
soleplate. This function is very useful for
removing stubborn creases or when ironing
difficult or thick fabrics.
●In order to use the steam function, the
temperature control must be set to the
steam-section marked on the control
knob.
Filling with water
Fill the water reservoir before using the
steam function or the spray nozzle.
Remove 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
at the relevant local authority
department.
- Open the cover of the water fill hole.
- Fill the empty water reservoir using the
measuring cup provided. Fill the
reservoir to the indicated “Max” level
only.
- Close the water fill hole.
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 in the 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
6

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.
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 light will be on. The light 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
steam jet function; this helps to flush out
any dirt residues or lint particles trapped
inside the openings in the soleplate.
●With the steam switch, the steam
function can be activated as required, or
completely switched off for dry ironing.
●For dry ironing, the water reservoir may
be empty.
●Place the steam iron upright on its base
stand after use and remove the plug from
the wall socket.
Using the 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.
- In order to protect the clean soleplate,
you may occasionally apply a small
amount of paraffin to the warm plate,
wiping it off with a woollen cloth.
●Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
●Do not put vinegar or other descalers
into the water reservoir.
●After a long period of non-use, or once a
month, the soleplate should be cleaned as
follows:
- Fill half the water reservoir with water
and place it on its base stand.
- Leave the iron to heat on the highest
temperature setting until the indicator
lamp goes out.
- Unplug the appliance, activate the
steam function and shake the iron to
and fro horizontally over a sink.
- Hot water and steam will be emitted by
the holes in the soleplate. This will
result in the removal of dust particles
from the soleplate.
- Pour out any remaining water, let the
iron heat up again and pass the
soleplate over an old, clean cotton
cloth. The remaining water trapped in
the soleplate will evaporate, helping the
cleaning process.
