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 socket with earthing contact.

Connected Wattage

The station has a total maximum wattage of 2400 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 1.5mm^2
• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this device is too powerful.

Temperature Control on the Iron (3)

The symbols on the control correspond to the following settings:

(Synthetics, silk) low temperature
- (Wool) medium temperature
Cotton, linen) highest temperature

Water Tank (8)

• The water tank has a recessed grip on the bottom so that it can be removed.
• The lock of the water tank is also the lime filter cartridge. Take out the lime filter cartridge to fill with water.
• The tank volume is 1.7 litres.

Water

Use only tap water or 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

NOTE:

• Sort out the garments according to their ironing temperatures.

• Always set the temperature control to "MIN", before connecting the appliance to a power point, or before disconnecting it.

• Place the iron on the rest (6).

• Only connect the machine to a properly installed safety socket.
• Set the temperature on the temperature control (3). If you have sensitive items to iron, please begin with the lowest temperature.

The control lamp (1) on the iron shows that it is heating up. As soon as the control lamp goes off the operating temperature has been reached. Now you can start ironing.

• Always turn the temperature control to "MIN" after use and remove the mains plug (the control lamp in the handle goes off).

Steam Ironing

WARNING:

The iron expels a large quantity of hot steam. Danger of burns.

CAUTION:

• When using the steam iron please ensure that the water tank is always filled to the required level.
• The lime filter cartridge always has to be positioned in the water tank, even if you use distilled water.

CAUTION: INITIAL USE:

Please proceed as follows:

• The tank should only be filled up to the maximum mark. Do not overfill!
• Close the water tank and place it back in the base.
• Connect the base station to a socket with earthing contact.
• Set the desired temperature within the range "● ●" to "● ●". The control lamp on the iron lights up.
• Wait until the soleplate has heated up. Once the temperature has been reached the control lamp goes off.
• Now press the steam jet button (2) for at least 1 minute or until steam comes out of the soleplate of the iron. This time is needed for the steam to reach the iron.

NOTE ON STEAM IRONING:

If the temperature control is set to less than ,the production of steam is prevented.

Vertical Steam function (Vertical Steam)

This can be used to produce a jet of steam in a vertical direction. This function can be used to remove creases from hanging clothes or from curtains.

WARNING:

Never point the steam jet at other people. Danger of bums.

Hang your laundry on a clothes hanger and move the iron to approximately 2-3 cm away.

How can I replenish the water during operation?

Refill with water before the tank is completely empty.

• Place the iron on the rest (6).
• Set the temperature control to "MIN".
• Remove the mains plug from the socket.
• In order to remove the tank, press the RELEASE button below the water tank.
• Remove the lime filter cartridge.
• Fill the tank up to the maximum mark. Do not overfill!
• Close the water tank.
• Reinsert the lime filter cartridge and push the tank back into the base.
• You can now continue ironing.

When you have finished

• Now you can start ironing. Always turn the temperature control to "MIN" after use and remove the mains plug (the control lamp in the handle goes off).
• Remove the mains plug from the socket.
• Empty the water tank.
• Allow the device to cool down before you put it away.

Cable storage

Wind the mains cable around the cable groove at the foot of the stand. Secure the mains cable with the supplied cable clip. Place the mains plug into a loop of the mains cable to secure it.

Anti-scale filter

Your steam iron station is fitted with an anti-scale filter. The antiscale filter cartridge becomes spent after filtering approximately 18 litres of water, depending on the hardness of your water. It then loses its effectiveness and must be replaced.

• Turn off the appliance.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the mains.
• Remove the water tank.
• Remove the anti-scale filter cartridge.
• Fill the tank up to the maximum mark. Do not overfill!
• Insert a new anti-scale filter cartridge.
• Before turning on the appliance, wait a few minutes until the new filter cartridge is saturated with water.

If you do not have a new anti-scale filter cartridge, you can still iron with the used cartridge and distilled water.

Cleaning

WARNING:

Always remove the mains lead before cleaning!
- Wait until the machine has cooled down completely!
- Under no circumstances should you immerse the device in water for cleaning purposes. Otherwise this might result in an electric shock or fire.

CAUTION:

• Do not use a wire brush or any abrasive items.

• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.

• Clean the casing with a slightly damp cloth.

• Clean the sole plate and the rest with a slightly damp cloth.
• Any residual water can remain in the water tank, but should be poured out if it has been in the tank for a prolonged period.

Troubleshooting

Fault Possible Cause Remedy
Device does not work	Faulty mains socket	Try another socket
Loud noises during steam operation	The tank is empty	Check the tank
The device suddenly stops working during operation	Is the electric circuit overloaded?	Check the house fuse
No steam is escaping	Adjusting the temperature regulator to less than “●●”, prevents steaming.	Adjust the temperature regulator to higher than “●●”.
	The limescale filter cartridge is not inserted (correctly), has dried out, or is new.	Fully insert the lim-escale filter cartridge and push the tank back into the base. It may take a moment until the limescale filter cartridge has completely been saturated with water.
The pump is not pumping despite the water tank having been refilled.	You pumped the water tank empty so that air was sucked in, and so that an air bubble formed in the feed line.	Hold the steam iron approx. 30 to 40 cm deeper than the base station and then press the steam button for a few seconds.
