Fastening the stand clamp

1 Fold out the clamp on the bottom of the stand and fix the

stand clamp to the ironing board or to another stable surface,

The rubber feet on the bottom prevent the stand from slipping.

◗ You can also place the stand on the ironing board without using

the clamp. The clamp can then remain folded in.

Do not place the stand close to the table edge, as the stand could

accidentally be knocked over.

Filling the water tank

1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

2 Set the steam control to 0 (no steam).

3 Set the mode switch to ∫ (cordless ironing).

4 Take the iron from the stand.

5 Place the iron on its heel and open the cap of the filling

6 Use the filling cup to pour water into the water tank and close

the cap of the filling opening afterwards.

If the tap water in your area is very hard, we advise you to mix it with

an equal amount of distilled water or to use distilled water only.

Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indication.

Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or

other chemicals in the water tank.

L I N E N HI L O S I L K S E D A NY L O N N I L O N W O OL L A N A C O T T O N A L G O D O N M A X M I NSetting the temperature

1 Put the iron on the iron stand.

2 Set the required ironing temperature by turning the

temperature dial to the appropriate position (see section 'Tips'

for extra information).

Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature

3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket. The temperature

light goes on to indicate that the iron is heating up.

◗ The iron is hot enough when the temperature light goes out.

◗ During ironing the temperature light goes on from time to time.

This indicates that the iron is heating up to the right temperature.

◗ If you have been ironing at a high temperature and subsequently

set the temperature dial to a lower setting, wait until the

temperature light goes on again before you continue ironing. This

will prevent damage to your fabrics.

◗ Some parts of the iron have been lightly greased. This may cause

the iron to give off some smoke when you switch it on for the

first time. After a short while, however, this will cease.

3 to MAX Type of fabric

Synthetic fabrics (e.g.

- If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibres, always select the

temperature required by the most delicate fibre, i.e. the lowest

temperature. For example: if an article consists of 60% polyester and

40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for

polyester (2) and without steam.

- If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of,

determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will

not be visible when you wear or use the article.

- Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the

fabric to prevent shiny patches.

- Velvet and other fabrics that tend to acquire shiny patches should be

ironed in one direction only (along with the nap) while applying very

- Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature,

such as those made of synthetic fibres.

Electronic safety shut-off function (HI575 only)

The electronic safety shut-off function automatically switches the iron

off if it has not been moved for a while.

◗ To indicate that the heating element has been switched off, the

auto-off light will start blinking and you will hear an audible signal.

steam when the temperature is too low. When this happens you may

Cleaning and maintenance

1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the iron

2 Wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate with a

damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.

To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact with

metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to

clean the soleplate.

3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.

4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water

tank after cleaning.

Use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks to remove scale

and impurities from the soleplate. If the water in your area is very hard

(i.e. when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), you should

use the Calc-Clean function more frequently.

water tank is empty.

10 Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the water coming out of the

iron still contains a lot of scale particles.

After the Calc-Clean process

1 Put the iron back on the stand to let the soleplate dry.

2 Unplug the iron when the light has gone out.

3 Move the iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any

water stains that may have formed on the soleplate.
