DESCRIPTION BEFORE USE

1 • Unpacking Take the iron out of the box and remove all the stickers.IMPORTANT Before doing anything else, remove the soleplate protector (fig.1)! 2 • What water may be used ? Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water up to 17° dH(German water hardness). If in doubt, check with your local water authority.However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50% untreated tap water with50% distilled or demineralised water.IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water duringevaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineralelements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of theappliance:- water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water fromrefrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised wateror rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered orbottled water. 3 • Using for the first time Plug in the iron (fig.2) and set the temperature control dial (fig.3) to ••• to heat theappliance. A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this is only temporary.Unplug the iron (fig.4) and fill the water tank (§ 4 Filling the water tank). To remove any impurities in the iron's steam chamber, unplug the iron and hold itover a sink horizontally. Push the steam control into the Self Clean position : steamwill now begin to build up.(*) Depending on model1 Spray nozzle2 Filling inlet (with slide-buttonopening)3 Variable steam controla Dry ironing b Steam max. position *c Self Cleand Autosteam *4 Spray button 5 Shot of steam button 6 Auto-off indicator light*7 Cord8 Handle9 Thermostat control light*10 Temperature control dial11 LED display*a Yellow LED b Green LEDc Red LEDd Auto-off LED12 Water tank 13 Maximum water level indicator14 Soleplate 1103910025DZ5000D1_110x220mm15/03/1311:14Page23

EN (*) Depending on model After a few seconds water will emerge from the soleplate, rinsing any impurities

out of the steam chamber (fig.5).

Move the steam control to steam position after approx.

1 minute. Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the

remaining water has evaporated. Unplug from the mains and allow the iron to fully

4 • Filling the water tank

IMPORTANT Before filling the water tank, unplug the iron and set the steam

control to dry position .

Tilt the iron. Open the filling inlet (fig.6). Pour in water up to the max mark (fig.7).

Close the filler inlet (fig.8) and return the iron to the horizontal.

5 • Setting the temperature

Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using the temperature control

Temperature control*: The temperature control light indicates that the soleplate is

heating up. When the temperature control light goes off (fig.9), the set temperature

is reached and you can begin ironing.

set temperature is reached and you can begin ironing.

Electronic temperature control*: The traffic lights tell you whether the soleplate is

at the selected temperature (fig.10).

IMPORTANT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We

recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature.

For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most delicate fabric.

TIP Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

Set the variable steam control to (fig.11) and set the temperature to suit the

type of material (care points •, ••, •••).

You can steam iron from temperature setting •• upwards.

Steam function* The steam quantity can be set to between no steam (minimum

steam quantity) and (maximum steam quantity) (fig.12). We recommend setting

to maximum steam quantity only when the iron is at temperature setting •••.

Auto Steam function* Set the steam button to (fig.13) and the steam quantity will

adjust automatically to the soleplate temperature

8 • Shot of steam (from temperature setting •• upwards)

IMPORTANT Leave an interval of 4 seconds between each shot and wait until

the flow of steam is finished before standing the iron on its heel.

Press the shot of steam button to generate a powerful jet of steam and remove

stubborn creases (fig.14).

9 • Vertical shot of steam

(from temperature setting •• upwards)

TIP Hold the iron 10 to 20 centimetres away from the garment to avoid burning

Hold the iron to the vertical and press the shot of steam button ( fig.15) to

remove creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc.

IMPORTANT Never direct the steam at persons or animals!

Press the spray button to dampen stubborn creases (fig.16).

11 • Anti-Drip system*

It prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the temperature is too low.

12 • Automatic electronic 3-position cut-off*

If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it will automatically switch off

nd the auto off light will blink after the following intervals (fig. 17):

- After 30 sec., if the iron is left standing on the soleplate or lying on its side .

- After 8 mins., if the iron is left standing on its heel.

To switch the iron back on, move the iron gently.

Unplug the iron (fig.4), pour away remaining water (fig.18) and set steam control to

Open and close the steam control several times (fig.19) to prevent the valve hole

into the steam chamber from scaling or blocking up.

Allow the appliance to cool down before storing the iron standing on its heel

IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate. Never store your

iron placed down on the soleplate (fig21).

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance

15 • Anti-scale system

Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This

considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron.

The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank

and does not need to be replaced.

16 • Self Clean function

(prolongs the life of the iron)

The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.

IMPORTANT Do not use descaling agents, as these damage the lining of the

steam chamber and so may impair the steam function.

Fill the water tank with tap untreated water up to the max mark and heat the iron to

the ••• temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink horizontally. Hold the

steam control into the Self Clean position (fig.5) : steam will now begin to build up.

After a few seconds water will emerge from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale

particles out of the steam chamber.

Move the steam control to position after approx. 1 minute.

Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remaining water

has evaporated. Unplug from the mains and allow the iron to fully cool down.

When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.

TIP Use the Self Clean function approx. every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard,

clean the iron weekly.

17 • Cleaning the iron

When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge,

Remove the dirt from the soleplate with a damp cloth or sponge.

IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean

soleplate and other parts of the iron. If the appliance has been standing unused

for long periods, use the Self Clean function (see § 16).
