- Do not twist or bend the mains cord or wrap it round the steam iron while it is still hot. Only store the appliance once it is cool and after emptying any remaining water.
- The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.

GB

- Please check the mains cord from time to time for damage! Special tools are required to repair a damaged mains cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Repairs to this appliance may only be carried out by qualified service engineers. Considerable danger may result from improper repairs. If repairs become necessary, please contact the Customer Care Department or your authorised dealer.

Technical Data

Power consumption: 1600 - 2000 W
Mains voltage: 220 - 240 V

CE This appliance conforms with the following EC Directives:

• Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC
• EMC Directive 89/336/EEC with amendments 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC

Using for the First Time

Setting the Temperature (Figure 2)

Please note the internationally applicable care symbols on garment labels. On good quality garments they indicate the correct ironing temperatures. The ironing table indicates which temperature is most appropriate for a particular type of fabric. We recommend sorting the washing first. Start with materials that require low temperature ironing (e.g. PERLON). Follow on by ironing materials that require progressively higher temperatures. In this way you avoid damaging sensitive fabrics by using too high a temperature. When switched on, the power indicator lamp lights up (Figure 1/J); it goes out when the temperature set has been reached. However, if the temperature selector (Figure 1/N) is turned back, please note

that it takes a while for the soleplate to cool down. Only when the power indicator light comes on again has the soleplate reached the cooler temperature.

Dry Ironing

Set the steam selector (Figure 1/F) to position „O“ (Figure 4/A).
Turn the temperature selector (Figure 1/N) to the desired temperature.

Steam Ironing

Filling the Steam Iron (Figure 3)

The water reservoir should only be filled when the plug has been removed from the socket.

Set the steam selector to position "O" = dry iron (Figure 4/A) and hold the appliance upright.

Fill the water reservoir at most to the "MAX" mark. To do this, you can use the measuring beaker supplied (Figure 1/P).

Water Quality

You can use tap water up to 3 mmol/l 17° dH water hardness level. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. If the water from your tap is harder than the above, please use distilled water available from a chemist or a 50:50 mixture of tap water and distilled water.

When using for the first time, please note:

Fill the reservoir with water; set the steam selector (Figure 1/F) to maximum position (Figure 4/B).

Heat the appliance and place it with the soleplate facing downwards on an iron rest or plate (Figure 5) to allow the water to steam through and activate the steam chamber.

You will obtain optimal steaming results and the noise produced by the steaming will be steadier after the water reservoir has been filled and drained three times.

Ironing with Steam

To steam iron, set the temperature selector (Figure 1/N) to the required fabric type and wait until the power indicator (Figure 1/J) goes out - only then set the steam selector (Figure 1/F) to the desired position (Figure 4/B). You will find which temperature setting (fabric type) matches which steam setting in the ironing table. As soon as the steam iron is held horizontally steam begins to form. When the steam iron is set upright again the steam supply stops automatically.

Spray Function (Figure 6/A)

The first time you use the appliance, or if you have not used it for a long time, you will need to press the spray function button (Figure 1/H) several times before water comes out of the spray nozzle (Figure 1/D). You can also use the spray function when dry ironing.

Super Steam Jet Function (Figure 6/B)

The super steam jet function is of valuable assistance when ironing, for example, creases, embroidery etc. You can trigger the additional steam jet both when steam ironing and when dry ironing.

Set the temperature selector (Figure 1/N) to the "MAX" position and wait until the correct temperature has been reached, i.e., until the power indicator (Figure 1/J) goes out.

■ Raise the steam iron a little away from the material and press the steam jet button (Figure 1/G).

Always wait another 5 seconds before pressing the steam jet button again.

Steaming hanging items of clothing

Turn the temperature selector (Figure 1/N) to the "MAX" position and wait until the power indicator (Figure 1/J) goes out.
Hang the article concerned on a hanger and hold the steam iron at a distance of 10 - 20 cm from the material.
Now press the steam jet button (Figure 1/G). Wait at least 5 seconds before pressing the button again.

Warning: Do not attempt to freshen up clothing whilst it is still being worn. Risk of burning!

Drip Stop

The steam iron has an automatic drip stop function. The drip stop immediately interrupts the creation of steam if the temperature selected is too low.

Storage

Remove the plug from the socket!

Set the temperature selector (Figure 1/N) to the "Cold" position 0 (Figure 2/a) and the steam selector (Figure 1/F) to position "○" (Figure "○" 4/A). Empty out remaining water (Figure 7). Store the appliance standing upright. To store properly wrap the mains cord around the cord storage (Figures 1/M and 8).

Care and Maintenance

The steam iron has an automatic decalcification feature, which significant slows down the deposit of limescale in the steam chamber.

The steam iron must not be descaled! Neither vinegar nor proprietary brands of descaler must be filled into the water reservoir!

GB

Cleaning

As a precaution we recommend cleaning every three months.

Unplug from the mains.

Set the steam selector (Figure 1/F) to position "O" (Figure 4/A).

Fill the water reservoir (Figure 1/0) with clear water to the "MAX" mark.

Set the temperature selector (Figure 1/N) to "MAX".

Insert the plug into the socket.

Wait until the power indicator (Figure 1/J) goes out.

Set the steam selector (Figure 1/F) to position (Figure 4/C).

Place the appliance horizontally over a sink.

Press the steam selector (Figure 1/F) for at least 1 minute.

Water is flowing out of the steam exit holes. Your steam iron is now ready for use again.

What to do, if ...

- no "steam" appears when using on a steam setting?

- In warm, dry air (during the winter), reduced amounts of vapour are normal because it is absorbed by the dry air before condensing.

- Emptying the filled water reservoir can wash out fluff. Remove the mains cord and tip the filled appliance forwards at an angle (Figure 7) so that the water can run out of the filling aperture.

- drops of water are coming out of the steam exit holes?

- Do not set the steam selector to another position than „O“ until the temperature for steam ironing has been reached. If the temperature has been set too low for steam ironing increase the setting.

• stains appear on the washing while ironing?

- Clean the steam iron. Rub the sole-plate while still warm with a mixture

of water and vinegar or with a non-abrasive cleaning agent.

- When dry ironing fluff can enter the steam chambers and carbonise. This can lead to stains as the water passes through. Therefore also clean the inside of the water reservoir. Fill it with water and gently shake the steam iron. Then pour the water out.

• the soleplate is rough or furred?

- The iron temperature was set too high.

- Select the correct ironing temperature for the fabric (see ironing table).
