16:44 Uhr Seite 6 + Remove the storage cover, sticker or any protective items from the solepla- te @. +_Itis important to remove any residues of the polishing compound, used on the soleplate @, which may have lod- ged in the steam vents. Using the measuring cup @ supplied, pour water into the iron up to the MAX line. Clean the steam vents by using “Calc Clean” system. (See using the Calc Clean Button @). When finished, wipe the soleplate @ with an old cloth. Cotton swabs may be used to clean and dry the steam vents. +_ Some parts of the iron have been slightly greased and as a result the iron may smoke slightly when swit- ched on for the first time. After a short while, however, this will cease. Open a window. + _ Normal tap water can usually be used for ironing. But if you live in a hard water area we recommend to use distilled water to insure optimum performance of your iron. Controlling the temperature Turn your temperature control knob @ to the position you desire according to the following fabric indications:

lroning tips Sort the articles to be ironed according to the fabric. Ironing instructions are usually stitched onto an inside seam of a garment and these should be followed at all times. Start your ironing with the fabrics requiring the lowest heat setting. If you are unsure of the fibre content of a garment, test a small area (a seam or inside hem) before ironing. When in doubt, start with low heat. If wrinkles remain, gradually increase the heat to find the best setting for good results without damaging the fabric. How to fill with water

Check that the steam control gear @ is in the dry position (position 0) when fil- ling the water tank @. Pull back the water tank lid @ and fill the tank to the “MAX” line. Do not overfill. Check the water level in the tank in the position shown. Use only clean mains water, without any form of additive. Other fluids damage the appliance. To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix mains water with distilled water according to the table.

Auto shut-off safety feature The automatic shut-off function ensures that the iron is automatically shut off after a standstill of 30 seconds in hori- zontal position or 8 minutes in vertical position. When the iron is automatically shut off, the blue shut-off indicator light in water tank @ starts to flash. If you move the iron gently back and forth, it switches on again. The green heater monitor light @ comes on again when the temperature at the sole plate © drops below the set ironing tempera- ture. Wait until the green heater moni- tor light ® goes out. The iron has then reached the set iro- ning temperature and can now be used.

While ironing, press the button @ several times to acti- vate the pump. Anti-scale system The integrated anti-scale system reduces the build up of lime scale and increases the user life of your iron

16:44 Uhr Seite 9 KH2400 Using the calc clean button It is important to use the Calc-Clean function before putting the iron into operation for the first time and then at regular intervals in order to remove lime particles and other impurities. We recommend that the Calc-Clean function is used at least twice a month. In areas with very hard water, the iron should be cleaned with the Calc-Clean function after every use, or use distilled water. + _Fillthe water up to “MAX" line in water tank @. +_ Insert the plug into the wall socket. + Set the temperature control @ to MAX. + _Allow the iron to heat up until the heating light ® goes out and then lights again. + _ Remove the plug from the wall socket. |. + Hold the iron horizontally over the sink. + Set the steam control gear @ to calc clean position (0) then press and hold the calc clean button @. The boiling water and steam will drain from the vents in the soleplate @. Impurities and scale will be drained away with the water. + Move the iron backwards and for- wards while draining the water. + Release the calc clean button @ once all water has been drained out. + Place the iron in the upright position, plug it and then allow it to heat up. + _Carefully dry soleplate @ by ironing over a towel or old cloth to ensure there is no remainder of the water inside the steam chamber. + Let the iron cool down completely before storing it.

16:44 Uhr Seite 10 Drip-stop feature Care and cleaning instructions As indicated on the temperature control knob @, steam ironing Ô is only possi- ble at higher ironing temperatures. With conventional steam irons, water may drip from the soleplate if an extremely low temperature has been selected. However, a new feature has been added to this iron — ‘DRIP STOP’ steam shut-off. This means that the iron will automati- cally stop steaming at low temperatures. When this happens, you will hear a “CLICK”. Then set the temperature con- trol @ to the required temperature. Steaming will recommence as soon as the required temperature has been rea- ched. Using as a dry iron The iron can be used as a dry iron, even if there is water in the water tank @. Do not put water in the water tank @ when the iron is to be used as a dry iron for many hours. + Put the iron on the heel rest and then plug the iron into the mains. + Turn the steam control gear @ to “o". + _Set the temperature control knob @ to the required temperature. + When the heating light ® goes out, it indicates that the iron has reached the required temperature. + Ensure that the soleplate remains smooth and unscratched by ironing around on not over zippers, rivets or any other objects which may scratch the soleplate. + _ The hardness of the water and its minerals differs widely from region to region. If the water in your area is very hard, we recommend the use of distilled water that is available in retail stores in order to ensure the optimum function of the iron. If you do not use distilled water, clean the iron regularly using the Calc-Clean function (see section “Calc-Clean Function"). + Do not disassemble or repair your iron yourself. + After each use, remove the plug and let the iron cool down. Wipe the sole- plate with a damp cloth and non- abrasive (liquid) cleaner. Clean the iron body with a damp cloth. Emptying and storing the iron + Slide the steam control gear @ several times from 0 to the steam position and back again (self-cleaning). + Be sure the iron is unplugged first. + _ Pour out any remaining water by sha- king the iron. + Make it a habit to empty the iron after each use. + Put the iron on the storage cover. Do not use the storage cover while iro- ning. + Wind the power cord around the cord winder. Do not wrap the power cable too tightly!
