STEAM IRON
Safety instructions
Risk of Burns!
•Grasp the steam iron only by the handle when it is hot.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
•Never hold your hand over the steam spray or on hot
metal parts.
•You should not open the filler opening of the water reser-
voir while the iron is in use. First allow the steam iron to
cool down and remove the plug from the power socket.
•The iron and its connecting cable must, when it is switched
on or cooling down, be kept out of the reach of children
who are younger than 8 years old.
Risk of Injury! Risk of fire!
•Never leave a steam iron that is hot, switched on or
connected to the mains power supply unattended.
•Put the steam iron into storage only when it has cooled
down completely.
•This steam iron must be used and parked on a stable surface.
•When ironing, use only the temperatures detailed in the
garment care instructions, or those suitable for the material.
Otherwise, you could damage the textiles. Should care in-
structions not be given or known, start with the lowest tem-
perature setting.

•NEVER permit children to use the steam iron.
•Place the station on a level and heat-resistent surface. The
station must be stable when you place the steam iron onto it.
•If you want to put the steam iron down, place it only on the
cable base or back into the station.
Danger of electrical shocks.
•The rating of the local power supply must tally completely
with the details given on the rating plate of the appliance.
•To avoid potential risks, arrange for a defective appliance
to be checked and possibly repaired by qualified tech-
nicians, or contact our Customer Service Department.
•Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be
replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer
Service Department.
•To disconnect from the power spource, pull only on the
plug itself, not on the cable.
•Never bend (kink) or crush the power cable. Arrange it
in such a way that it cannot come into contact with hot
surfaces and so that no-one can step on it or trip over it.
•After every use, before cleaning and when refilling with
water, remove the plug from the power socket.
•Always unroll the power cable fully before switching on
and do not use an extension cable.
•Never touch the power cable or the power plug with wet
hands.

•Never use the steam iron adjacent to water contained in a
bath, shower, wash basin or other vessels. The proximity of
moisture presents a danger, even when the appliance is
switched off.
•Under no circumstances should you submerge the steam
iron in any liquid or permit liquids to penetrate into the
housing of the steam iron. Do not expose the appliance to
humidity and do not use it outdoors. Should liquids enter
the housing, unplug the appliance from the power socket
immediately and arrange for it to be repaired by a quali-
fied technician.
•You may not open the housing of the steam iron. Permit
only authorised technicians to repair a defective appliance
should repairs be necessary.
•Under NO circumstance should you use the appliance if it
shows visible signs of damage, has fallen or leaks water.
Arrange for it to be repaired by qualified specialists.
•Discontinue use of the appliance if the anti-kink protection
on the power cable is damaged!
•This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years or
more and by individualss with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and/or knowled-
ge if they are supervised, or have been instructed in the
safe use of the appliance and have understood the poten-
tial risks. Children may not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance by children should not be
carried out without supervision of them.

Tips for utilisation
In addition to the typical utilisation with a cable,
you can also separate the steam iron from the cable
base 8for a short period to iron textiles which are
not located close to an electrical power socket.
To separate the steam iron from the cable base 8:
• Place the steam iron, with the cable base 8
engaged, onto the station q. The unlocking
switch 0must be in the position .
• Slide the unlocking switch 0into the
position . The steam iron now allows itself
to be lifted off. The cable base 8remains
combined with the station q.
Note:
As the steam iron cannot be heated up without the
cable base 8, you can only work for a short period
without the cable base 8. Reconnect the steam iron
with the cable base 8as soon as the steam blast
or the ironing quality diminishes.
To reconnect the steam iron with the cable base 8:
• Insert the steam iron into the cable base 8
connected to the station q. Slide the unlocking
switch 0to . You can now lift the steam
iron with the cable base 8from the station q.
Should you wish to secure the steam iron to the
station q, for safekeeping for example, slide the un-
locking switch 0with the preplaced steam iron to .
The steam iron can now no longer be removed from
the station q.
Filling the water tank
• In a cooled condition, place the steam iron
horizontally on its ironing sole e.
• Slide off the cover of the filler opening for the
water tank 2.
• Using the measuring beaker, fill the water tank
with water to the "Max" marking, but no further.
• Slide the cover of the filler opening for the water
tank 2back to close it.
Note:
Should the mains water at your locality be rated as
hard, it is recommended that you mix mains water
with some distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for the
steam blast function could calcify (become blocked)
prematurely.
To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix
mains water with distilled water according to the
table.
The water hardness level can be queried at your
local water works.
Water hardness Ratios - distilled
water to mains water
very soft / soft 0
medium 1 : 1
hard 2 : 1
very hard 3 : 1

(Symbol ), the clothing item may not be ironed.
If you do so, the clothing item could be permanently
damaged.
• Check the care instructions on the labels in the
garment to see if it is suitable for being ironed,
and at which temperature setting.
• Select the best suitable temperature setting with
the temperature controller 7.

Taking the steam iron out of
service
• Remove the plug from the wall power socket.
• Empty the water tank and clean the ironing sole
e.
• Place the cooled down steam iron on the station
qand secure it, in that you slide the unlocking
switch 0into the position .
• The power cable 9can be wrapped and stored
around the cable retainer won the underside of
the station q:
Drip-Stop Function
With conventional steam irons it can happen that
water drips from the ironing sole eat low tempera-
tures. This iron however possesses a new equipment
characteristic, the DRIP-STOP function. At low tem-
peratures the iron automatically switches off the
steam-blast function. When this happens, a “CLICK”
is to be heard. You must then re-set a suitable tem-
perature with the temperature controller 7. As soon
as this is reached, steam production is continued.
Cleaning
Self-cleaning function
• Connect the steam iron with the cable base 8.
• Fill the water tank to the marking MAX.
• Insert the plug into a wall socket.
• Place the temperature regulator 7into the
position MAX.
• Adjust the steam regulator 3to maximum steam
power.
• Allow the steam iron to heat up until the heat
control lamp 6extinguishes and once again
glows.
• Hold the steam iron horizontally over a catch-
ment receptacle.
• Position the steam regulator 3at the maximal
steam power level. Press and hold down the
button Self-clean r. Thereby, steam and boiling
water flows from the steam exit holes in the iro-
ning sole e. Impurities that may be present are
washed out.
• Release the Self-clean button ras soon as all
of the water has exited.
• Thoroughly dry the ironing sole e. For this, slide
the ironing sole eback and forth over a hand
towel or an old piece of material several times.
• Allow the steam iron to cool down before pla-
cing it in storage.
