Important safety instructions

Remove the appliance completely from its packaging, and any stickers or protective materials that may be found.

Before the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects or leakage. 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.

●Great care is necessary in using any appliance, especially near children. Do not leave the steam iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board. Always remove the plug from the wall socket and place the steam iron on its base stand.

● The iron must be used and stored on a stable and durable surface only.

- With the iron placed on its rest, ensure that this too is on a stable and durable surface.

- 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 soleplate and from hot water or steam. When operating the steam iron, hold it only by the handle. Do not allow steam to escape in the direction of anyone nearby.

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

- Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces, and do not coil it round the appliance.

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

●Always remove the plug from the wall socket

aft er use,

-in case of any malfunction,

before cleaning the appliance.

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

● 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.

- Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children, as they are a potential source of danger, e.g. from suffocation.

Do not operate the appliance if excessive force has been used to pull the power cord. Damage cannot always be detected from the outside; the entire unit should therefore be checked by a qualified technician before it is used again.

- Before refilling or emptying the water reservoir, remove the plug from the wall socket.

Do not put any liquid other than water into the reservoir.

No responsibility is 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 addresses can be found in the appendix to this manual.

Anti-scale fi lter

A special filter in the reservoir softens the water and reduces the build-up of lime deposits in the sole plate.

Filling with water

Fill the water reservoir before using the steam function or the spray nozzle.

Remove the plug from the wall socket before filling the reservoir.

- This iron is to a large extent resistant to hard water (up to 15^ dH). Although normal tap water may be used, it is better to use distilled, demineralised or decalcified water. Should you be unsure

about the hardness of the water in your area, please enquire of the relevant local authority department.

To prevent water from dripping from the sole plate, ensure that the steam control button is closed. It should be opened only once the temperature level required

- for steam ironing [as indicated on the temperature control knob] has been reached.

- Open the cover of the water filling hole.

- Fill the water reservoir using the measuring cup provided to the indicated Max level only.

- Close the filling hole, ensure that the cover is heard clicking into place.

Anti-drip function

- If the temperature of the soleplate is not sufficient to produce steam, the water supply is cut off automatically to prevent dripping.

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 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 fabrics, you can carefully test-iron at a non-visible point, e.g. the inside of a seam. Start with the lowest temperature.

If the laundry has been being dried in a dryer before ironing, the temperature

should be adjusted to ‘iron dry’. Very dry fabrics are difficult to iron.

Start up

Clean the iron before using for the first time, according to the instructions given in the paragraph 'General Care and Cleaning - Self-cleaning system'. This will result in the removal of any dust particles from the soleplate and subsequently lessen the smell typically encountered when first switching on.

Please ensure sufficient ventilation.

Ironing

Always use the iron on a heat-resistant surface.

Steam ironing requires high temperatures. The e temperature level for steam ironing is indicated on the temperature control knob.

- After filling the reservoir with water, place the steam iron upright on its base stand and insert the plug into the wall socket.

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

-During the heating-up process, the indicator lamp on the temperature selector will be on. The lamp will go out once the required temperature is reached. The main indicator lamp in the handle remains lit as long as the appliance is connected to the mains power.

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

- The steam output can be adjusted with the steam control button, or switched off completely for dry ironing.

- For dry ironing, the water reservoir may be left empty. But if there is any water left in the reservoir, the steam jet function may also be used when dry-ironing at higher temperature settings.

- Place the steam iron upright on its base stand after use and remove the plug from the wall socket.

Automatic switch-off

If the appliance is switched on but has not been used for a certain period of time, it will automatically switch off. This automatic switch-off is indicated by a beep signal; in addition, the main indicator lamp in the handle flashes. The automatic switch-off is indicated by a beep signal; in addition, the red indicator light flashes. As soon as the iron is moved, it will switch itself on again.

● Horizontal position:

When resting on its sole plate, the iron

- will switch off after approx 30 seconds of inactivity.

Vertical position:

When standing upright on its base, it will switch off after approx. 10 minutes.

Steam jet from underside and tip of soleplate

When the steam jet button is depressed, an additional hot steam jet is emitted from the underside and the tip of the soleplate. This function can be very useful when the normal amount of steam emitted is not sufficient to remove stubborn creases, or when ironing difficult or thick fabrics.

The steam jet button can also be used for difficult or hard-to-reach areas such as collars, cuffs, pockets and around buttons. The steam jet emitted from the tip of the soleplate makes ironing easier and faster.

For optimum steam output, wait about 4 seconds before using this function again. The steam jet function may also be used with the iron held vertically, to remove creases or wrinkles from fabrics.

Note:

For a more powerful steam jet, set the steam control to ‘dry ironing’.

Using the spray nozzle

Th e laundry can be dampened by pressing the spray button. Th is will help to smooth out diffi cult areas, and may be used at any temperature during dry or steam ironing.

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 unit may be wiped with a - dry lint-free cloth.

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

Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.

Do not put vinegar or other descalers into the water reservoir.

Self-cleaning system

The self-cleaning system fl ushes out loose mineral deposits and keeps the appliance free of lime and dust particles. Self-cleaning should be carried out if the iron has not been used for an extended period, or otherwise every 10-15 days. Proceed as follows:

Slide the steam control to 'dry ironing'. – Fill the water reservoir with water up to – the maximum level mark.

Place the iron on its base stand and put the – plug into the wall socket.

-Set the temperature control to its maximum.

- Wait until the indicator light goes out.

-Remove the plug from the wall socket.

-Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.

- Press the SELF CLEAN button and keep it pressed, while swinging the iron lightly to and fro until no more steam or hot water is emitted.

-Pour out any remaining water from the reservoir.

Allow the sole plate to cool down before - cleaning it with a damp, lint-free cloth.

Storage

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

Pour any remaining water out of the reservoir through the water filling hole.

To avoid damage to the soleplate, store the iron in an upright position on its base stand.
