Instructions

Unpacking

• Remove any protective foils and stickers from the soleplate.
• Please unwind the lead completely.

Electrical connection

• Make sure that the iron voltage (see name plate) and the line voltage match.
• The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly installed 230 V \~ 50 Hz socket with earthing contact.

Connected Wattage

The station has a total maximum wattage of 2200 W. With this connected load a separate supply line protected by a 16 A household circuit breaker is recommended.

CAUTION: OVERLOAD!

• If you use extension leads, these should have a cable cross-section of at least 1.5 ~mm^2 .
• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this device is too powerful.

Temperature Control on the Iron (5)

The symbols on the control correspond to the following settings:

MIN off

• Synthetics, nylon, acrylic, low temperature rayon

• Wool, silk medium temperature
  ● ● ● Cotton, linen high temperature

MAX maximum temperature

Water Tank (3)

• Place the iron in an upright position.
• Fill the water reservoir at the refill opening (8). Use the filling container to help you. Close the lid of the tank.
  • The tank volume is 150 ml.

Water

Please use only distilled water.

Do not fill battery water, water from the clothes dryer and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume, softener or other chemicals) into the water reservoir.

This could damage the iron due to residues forming in the steam chamber. These residues may cause impurities to the fabric when dropping out of the holes in the soleplate.

Operation

Before Initial Use

• Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please pass the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.

Ironing without steam

i NOTE:

• Sort out the garments according to their ironing temperatures.
