ENGLISH
BURST OF STEAM
• Set the temperature dial at the “●●●” or MAX position, then press down the
burst steam button.
• The soleplate will spray out bursting steam.
• To prevent water leaking from the soleplate, do not keep the burst steam
button pressed for more than 5 seconds.
SPRAY SETTING
Ensure that there is enough water in the water tank. By pressing the spray
button a couple of times at any temperature, the laundry can be damped down
to make them softer and easier to iron.
DRY IRONING
Turn the steam knob to the minimum position (=no steam) and set the
temperature dial to the suitable position.
SELF-CLEANING
It is important to apply “self-cleaning” often to remove impurities etc. The
harder the water the more the iron should be self-cleaned.
• Open the fill cover and fill the water tank with water up to the MAX position,
then close the fill cover.
• Set the temperature dial to MAX.
• Insert the mains plug into the wall socket.
• Allow the iron to heat up until the pilot light goes out. Then set temperature
dial to position MIN.
• Hold the iron horizontally over the sink, then press the self-clean button
enabling the iron to self clean.
• Boiling water and steam will be ejected from the holes in the soleplate.
Impurities are washed away with it. Move the iron forwards and backwards
while this happens.
• Set the steam control to “0” position when the water tank has emptied.
• Repeat self-cleaning if you notice that impurities haven’t been washed out.
• Move the iron over a (preferably) old piece of cloth. This is to ensure that
the soleplate will be dry during storage.
• Unplug and allow the iron to cool down before storing it.

ENGLISH
ANTI-DRIP
The appliance is equipped with a drip stop function; the iron will stop steaming
automatically when the temperature is too low to prevent water from dripping
out of the soleplate.
ANTI-CALC
The Anti-calc function filters the minerals from the water to prevent mineral
residue build up at the steam chamber and prolongs the operational life of the
iron.
STORAGE
• Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
• Pour out any remaining water left in the water tank.
• Set the steam knob to “0” or minimum steam position.
• Stand the iron upright and let it cool down completely.
CLEANING
• Before cleaning the iron ensure it is disconnected from the power supply
and has completely cooled down.
• Deposits on the soleplate may be removed with a cloth soaked in a vinegar/
water solution.
• The casting may be wiped with a damp cloth and then polished with a dry
one.
