Safety information

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
The voltage of the power source must conform to the details given on the type plate of the appliance.
To avoid potential risks, arrange for a defective appliance to be checked and, if required, repaired by qualified technicians, or contact our Customer Service Department.
- Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced as soon as possible by a qualified technician or by our Customer Service Department to avoid the risk of injury.
- When disconnecting the appliance from the power source, pull only on the plug itself, never on the cable.
▶ Never bend (kink) or crush the power cable, always route it in such a way that it cannot come into contact with hot surfaces and such that no one can step on or trip over it.
Remove the plug from the mains power socket after every usage, before cleaning the appliance and when refilling the appliance with water.
▶ Always unwind the power cable fully before switching on and do not use an extension cable.
▶ Never touch the power cable or the 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 water is hazardous, even if the appliance is switched off.
▶ Under no circumstances should you immerse 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. If any liquid gets into the housing, disconnect the appliance from the mains power socket immediately and have it repaired by a qualified technician.
- Do not open the steam iron housing. Have a defective steam iron repaired only by an authorised technician.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
- Do not use the appliance if it shows visible signs of damage, has fallen or leaks water. Arrange for it to be repaired by qualified specialists.
- Stop using 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 persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are supervised, or have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and have understood the potential risks. Do not allow children to use the appliance as a plaything. Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by children unless they are supervised.

RISK OF BURNS!
▶ Hold 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 place your hands in the steam spray or on hot metal parts.
- Do not open the filler opening for the water tank while the iron is in use. Allow the steam iron to cool down first and remove the plug from the power socket.
The iron and its connecting cable must be kept out of the reach of children under the age of 8 while the iron is switched on or cooling down.

Caution! Hot surface!
⚠️ RISK OF INJURY! RISK OF FIRE!
▶ Never leave a hot steam iron unattended if it is switched on or connected to the mains power supply.
▶ Do not put the steam iron away until it has cooled down completely.
The steam iron should only be used and set down on stable surfaces.
▶ Use only the ironing temperatures stated in the care instructions as suitable for the material. Otherwise, you could damage the textiles.
If you do not know the correct care instructions, start with the lowest temperature setting.
- Place the iron only on a level and heat-resistant surface. The iron must be stable.
▶ When you put the steam iron down, always place it on its base.
CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE!
If the clothing care instructions forbid ironing, symbol), the clothing item may not be ironed. Ignoring this warning could lead to permanent damage to the clothing item.
The water tank should be filled only with tap water or distilled water. Otherwise you will damage the steam iron.
- Do not clean the steam iron with solvents, alcohol or abrasive cleaning agents. These could damage it.
Before first use
■ Remove the steam iron from the packaging.
■ Remove all packaging materials from the appliance.

RISK OF SUFFOCATION!
▶ Plastic bags can be dangerous. To avoid fatalities through suffocation, keep plastic bags out of the reach of children.
Fill the water tank with water (See the chapter "Filling the water tank").
■ Insert the plug into a mains power socket supplying an electrical current as detailed on the rating plate.
■ Move the temperature control Ⓐ to the "MAX" position.
■ Wait for the iron to heat up until you hear a beep.
Pick up the iron and press the steam blast button a few times so that steam comes out of the sole of the iron.
■ Then iron over a piece of old piece of material to remove any residues that may remain on the sole of the iron ⑪.
Filling the water tank
■ Hold the iron in your hand at an angle.
■ Open the cover of the filler opening for the water tank ②. This is marked with:
■ Use the measuring beaker ⑬ to add tap water/distilled water to the water tank up to no more than the "MAX" marking that you can see through the filler opening to the water tank ②.
■ Close the cover of the filler opening for the water tank ②.
NOTE
If the mains water in your location is rated as hard, it is recommended that you mix the mains water with some distilled water. Otherwise, the jets for the steam blast function could become blocked with limescale prematurely.
To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix mains water with distilled water according to the table:
| Water hardness | Ratio of distilled water to tap water |
| very soft/soft 0 | |
| medium 1:1 | |
| hard 2:1 | |
| very hard 3:1 |
Ask your local water utility about the water hardness in your area.

If there is no contact with the touch sensor field ⑦, the iron will stop producing steam.

Drip-Stop function
With conventional steam irons, water can drip from the sole of the iron ⑪ at low temperatures. This iron however possesses a new feature, the DRIP-STOP function (DRIP STOP). At low temperatures the iron automatically switches off the steam-blast function.
Then set a suitable temperature with the temperature control ⑥. As soon as this is reached, steam production is resumed.
Automatic descaling function
a ANTI CAL C
There is a descaling cartridge in the water tank that helps reduce the build-up of limescale.
This descaling cartridge is a permanent fixture in the water tank and cannot be replaced.
Automatic switch-off
This steam iron is fitted with an automatic switch-off system. This stops the iron from heating up.
If the iron is resting on its sole ⑪ and is not moved for about 30 seconds, there will be a warning beep and the AUTO OFF control lamp ⑩ flashes. The iron will stop heating up. To deactivate the automatic switch-off, lift up the iron and move it gently from side to side. The AUTO OFF control lamp ⑩ goes out and the iron will heat up again.
If the iron is on its base ⑨ and is not moved for about 1 minute, there will be a warning beep and the AUTO OFF control lamp ⑩ flashes. The iron will stop heating up. To deactivate the automatic switch-off, lift up the iron and move it gently from side to side. The AUTO OFF control lamp ⑩ goes out and the iron will heat up again.
NOTE
The automatic switch-off is not intended as a substitute for removing the plug from the mains power! This is merely intended to reduce the fire hazard if you forget to switch off the iron!
