Important safety instructions

Before the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any fitted attachment should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.

Always place and use the appliance on a flat, level and heat-resistant surface during

operation. Do not position the appliance on or near hot surfaces or open flames such as hot-plates or gas flames.

- Great care is necessary when using any appliance, especially near children. Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected. Always remove the plug from the wall socket and place the iron back on the iron rest on the steam generator.

- When ironing is interrupted, the appliance must be replaced onto the iron rest on the steam generator.

Remark: do not place the iron on its rear panel.

- The appliance operates at very high temperatures. Do not touch any part of the appliance except the handle. Burns can occur from touching the hot parts of the housing or the sole plate and from hot water or steam. Do not allow steam to escape in the direction of anyone nearby. When operating the appliance, hold only by the handle.

Do not attempt to iron or to smooth out wrinkles or creases from clothes by using the steam jet function while wearing them.

• Do not fill the boiler with any liquids other than water or descaling solution.
• Before refilling the water reservoir, remove the plug from the wall socket.
  ● Always wait until the steam generator has suffi ciently cooled before the reservoir cap is removed for re-fi lling, cleaning or descaling; the reservoir is under pressure.
• Caution: The connecting hose may reach high temperatures during operation.

- Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces. Do not coil the power cord round the appliance.

- The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used.

- This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

● Always switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket after use, -

when fi lling or refi lling with water, - in case of any malfunction, and - during cleaning. -

When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.

Do not operate the appliance if excessive strain has been put on the connecting hose. Damage cannot always be detected from the outside; the entire unit should therefore be checked by a qualified technician before it is used again.

No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.

● This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications.
- In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual.

Filling with water

• Caution: before opening the water reservoir cap, always wait until the appliance has sufficiently cooled down, as the reservoir is under pressure.
• This steam generator is to a large extent resistant to hard water (up to 15^ dH). Although normal tap water may be used, it is advisable to use distilled, demineralised or decalcified water. Should you be unsure about the hardness of the water in your area, please enquire at the relevant local

authority department.

Before the steam function can be used, the water reservoir must be filled with water as follows:

- Remove the plug from the wall socket. Open the water reservoir cap by pushing it down and turning anti-clockwise at the same time.

Fill the empty water reservoir using the measuring cup provided with max. 0.6l of water

- Replace the cap on the filler hole by pushing it down and turning clockwise at the same time.

- Once the water has been used up during

- ironing, switch off the boiler. Keep the steam jet button pressed until no further steam is emitted. Allow the unit to cool down before it is filled again.

General information about ironing

●Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article to be ironed.

- The meaning of the ironing symbols is as follows:

• Synthetics (low temperature)
•• Silk and wool (medium temperature)
••• Cotton and linen (high temperature)

- These markings can also be found on the temperature control knob of the iron in the form of dot symbols.

●Laundry to be ironed should be sorted according to the fabric ironing temperature. Follow the ironing symbols and start with the lowest temperature.

When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or if you are not sure about the fabric, you may carefully test-iron on a non-visible point, e.g. inside a seam. Always start with the lowest temperature.

If the laundry is put into a dryer before ironing, the temperature should be adjusted to 'iron dry'. Very dry fabrics are difficult to iron.

Start up

Before it is used for the first time, the iron should be cleaned according to the instructions given in the paragraph General Care and Cleaning. Th is will result in the removal of possible dust particles from the sole plate and subsequently lessen the smell typically encountered when first switching on.

Ensure sufficient ventilation.

Ironing

- The steam jet function is available only after the water reservoir has been filled with water and the boiler is switched on. It can be used as soon as the steam indicator lamp lights up.

Place the iron on the iron rest and insert - the plug into a suitable wall socket.

Set the temperature control knob to the required ironing temperature as indicated by the ironing symbols.

While the iron is heating up, the steam - button indicator lamp will be on. The lamp will go out once the required ironing temperature is reached.

Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate should be cleaned by passing it over an old, clean cotton cloth, while using the steam jet function; this helps to flush out any dirt residues or lint particles trapped inside the openings in the soleplate.

For dry ironing, the water reservoir may be empty.

Once the water has been used up during ironing, switch off the boiler. Keep the steam jet button pressed until no further steam is emitted. Allow the unit to cool down before it is filled again.

Replace the iron on the iron rest on the steam generator aft er use, and remove the plug from the wall socket.

Steam jet

When the steam jet button is depressed, jets of steam are emitted through the openings in the sole plate. Th is function can be useful when removing stubborn creases or when ironing difficult or thick fabrics.

The steam jet function may also be used with the iron held vertically, to remove creases or wrinkles from fabrics.

For extended steam output, push the slide control towards the handle while keeping the steam jet button depressed.

General care and cleaning

• Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water.
  -If necessary, the appliance may be wiped with a dry lint-free cloth.

Iron

Starch, fat and other deposits on the sole – plate may be removed with a woollen cloth soaked in a vinegar/water solution.

-In order to protect the clean sole plate, occasionally apply a small amount of paraffin to the warm plate, wiping it off with a woollen cloth.

- Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.

Emptying water remaining in the reservoir

Aft er use, any remaining water must be removed from the reservoir.

• Allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool down. If there is much water left in the reservoir, cooling may take up to 60 minutes.
• Start unscrewing the reservoir cap slowly and carefully. Th ere may be two signs that the appliance has not yet sufficiently
  ● cooled down, in which case there remains a severe danger of scalding. These indicators are:

- hot steam starts escaping when the cap is slowly turned,

- after one or two 2 turns of the cap, a large amount of steam is suddenly emitted through a vent in the reservoir cap which opens as the cap is turned.

Even if the pressure is released and the water is then poured from the reservoir before the appliance has completely cooled down, there is still a danger of hot water and steam being emitted, as the residual heat of the reservoir may bring the remaining water to the boil again during the pouring process.

- Exercise extreme caution when pouring out the water.

Water reservoir (Descaling)

Depending on the water quality in your area as well as the frequency of use, lime deposits may build up on the heating element. It is advisable to remove any such deposits from the water reservoir at regular intervals. A mixture of 0.5 litres of water to two tablespoons of vinegar essence is suitable.

Carefully pour the descaling solution in. – For the descaling solution to take effect, the steam generator should be left standing for approximately one hour with the reservoir filler hole open.

Pour out the descaling solution. -

To clean the reservoir aft er descaling, rinse – repeatedly with clean water.

Do not pour descalers down enamelled sinks.

Storage

- Turn off the iron, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down completely.

To avoid damage to the soleplate, store the iron only on the iron rest on the steam generator.

Disposal

Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage; this should only be done through public collection points.
