• Fill the water tank 1with water (See chapter "Fil-
ling with water").
• Insert the power plug 7into a correctly installed
and earthed mains power socket.
• Hold the steam brush horizontally.
• Place the temperature regulator 3at the position
"MAX".
• Heat the steam brush up at the highest setting for
a few minutes. By doing this you will clear produc-
tion residues from the sole 0of the appliance.
• Activate the steam shot button 8a few times, so
that steam exits from the soleplate 0.
• Then iron a redundant piece of material, this will
remove any impurites that may possibly be on
the sole of the iron 0.

On the first heating up of the appliance a small volume
of smoke and smell may be generated, caused by
production residues. This is completely normal and
is not dangerous. Provide for sufficient ventilation,
for example, open a window.
Operation
Information
• Should the care instructions in the clothing item
forbid ironing (Symbol ), you may not use
the steam brush on it. If you do so, the clothing
item could be permanently damaged.
• Do NOT use the appliance on leather, velvet, im-
pregnated furniture or steam sensitive materials.
If you do, the material/furniture could become
damaged.
Filling with water
Attention!
NEVER fill the water tank 1with chemical substances,
cleaning agents or fluids other than mains water (or
a mix of mains and distilled water).
Do not use chemically distilled water. This would
irreparably damage the appliance.
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.
Attention!
Before refilling with water, ALWAYS remove the
plug 7from the mains power socket! There is a
risk of electric shock!
• Lift the water tank 1up vertically, in that you slide
the release 4for the water tank 1to the rear until
the water tank 1allows itself to be lifted off. Grasp
the water tank 1with your thumb and index finger
on the hatched markings to lift it vertically upwards.
The temperature controller 3remains on the appli-
ance and is not lifted off.
• Open the water fill opening 2to the water tank 1.
• Using the measuring beaker t, fill the water
tank 1with mains water to the "Max" marking,
but no further.

Notice:
To release the first steam blast after heating the
appliance up, it can happen that you may need
to press the steam blast button 8several times in
succession.
Attention!
The steam brush can be used with all clothing items.
Caution is to be exercised with heat-sensitive materials
such as synthetics, polyamides or artificial silk. With
these materials you should first check at a concealed
part (inside seam) that the hot steam will not cause
any damage to the garment. Do not touch these ma-
terials directly with the hot sole of the iron 0. Use
only the steam blast.
Clothing care
• Suspend the crumpled garment from a coat hanger.
• With one hand pull the garment flat, then steam it
from top to bottom. The combination of steam and
clothes brush r will gently remove all creases.
• Use light pressure with the clothes brush r and
guide the appliance from top to bottom over the
garment. You can thereby press the steam blast
button 8in short intervals.
Notice:
You can repeatedly press the steam blast button 8
until the heating-up control lamp 5glows or water
drips from the sole of the iron 0.
Then, wait until the heating-up control lamp 5extin-
guishes before activating a further blast of steam.
• Should the heating-up control lamp 5start to glow
during the process, release the steam blast button 8
and wait a few seconds until the heating-up control
lamp 5extinguishes.

Note:
Should you press the steam blast button 8whilst
the heating-up control lamp 5is glowing the result
will be condensed water instead of steam, and water
will drip from the sole of the iron 0.
• Leave the garment on the clothes hanger to cool
down before putting it on.
Curtain and soft furnishing care
• Creases and wrinkles can be removed from
draperies by hanging them over a pole.
• Then simply follow the directions given under
“Clothing care”.
• Always carry out a test first at a concealed part.
• If you are using the appliance horizontally, every
now and then hold it upright so as to have the
maximum steam performance.
Fluff brush
• Threads, fluff and hairs can be easily removed
with the red fluff brush eby slowly brushing
over the garment with it from left to right.
• You can clean the fluff brush eby brushing with
it in the opposite direction (from right to left)
over, for example, a remnant of material.
Ironing function
• Dismantle the brush attachment wfrom the
appliance (see “Attaching/detaching the brush
attachment”).
• Connect the appliance to a correctly installed
and earthed mains power socket.
• Adjust the temperature regulator 3as per the
international point symbols (Care Label) or the
type of material. The heating-up control lamp 5
glows. As soon as the set temperature has been re-
ached, the heating-up control lamp 5goes out .
Note:
If doubt exists, start with a low temperature and
gradually increase it to a higher one. With sensitive
materials we recommend carrying out an ironing
test at a concealed part (inside seam).
