Before the first use

Some components of the automatic steam iron are lightly lubricated. This could cause a small amount of smoke to be emitted on using the iron for the first time. This will soon dissipate and stop. Before using the iron for the first time, please remove all attached adhesive labels or protective foil from the soleplate of the iron. Now clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.

Usage

Always pull out the mains plug before filling the steam iron with water.

Please use normal tap water for filling the iron - do not use chemically descaled water. The water is automatically descaled by the in-built ,anti-calcium" function device. Nevertheless, in regions where there is an extremely high content of calcium in the water (more than 15' dH), it is recommended to fill the steam iron with distilled water.

Press the steam control button (3) forwards to the no steam position. Place the iron down horizontally on a heatresistant surface. Open the cover of the waterfilling inlet (B) and carefully fill the water reservoir. Do not overfill the reservoir with water. Make sure you only fill up to the maximum mark shown on the side.

Steam ironing mode

Rotate the temperature control knob (L) to position 00 or 000 to produce a moderate amount of steam through to a maximum amount of steam as required. Water can escape from the soleplate if the water temperature selected is too low.

Check that there is adequate water in the water reservoir. Stand the iron on its heel plate. Wait a moment until the power indicator light (G) extinguishes and comes on again.

Set the steam control button (C) to the required amount of steam. By turning this regulator the amount of steam emitted is reduced or increased.

Steam booster

Rotate the temperature control knob (L) to position 00 or 000. Now press the steam booster button (D) and a more powerful blast of steam escapes from the soleplate.

In order to avoid excessive escape of water from the soleplate, do not depress the steam booster button and hold down for longer than 5 seconds at a time.

Place the iron vertically on its heel and put the plug into the mains. Wait till the power indicator light (G) is switched off and on again. Then turn the temperature control knob to the minimum position and remove the plug from the mains. Once a year you could take half water/half vinegar to clean the tank thoroughly and also remove calcium.
