  • The tank volume is 1.0 litres.
• The tank illumination lights once the mains plug has been inserted into the outlet. It indicates readiness for steam ironing when the lime filter cartridge and the water tank have been set correctly.

Water

Use only tap water or distilled water.

Do not fill battery water, water from the clothes dryer and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume, softener or other chemicals) into the water reservoir.

This could damage the iron due to residues forming in the steam chamber. These residues may cause impurities to the fabric when dropping out of the holes in the soleplate.

44 English

Operation

Before Initial Use

• Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please pass the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.

Ironing without steam

i NOTE:

• Sort out the garments according to their ironing temperatures.
• Always set the temperature control to "MIN" before connecting the appliance to a power point, or before disconnecting it.
• If the handle should still be in the carrying position, unlock the lock as described above under "Function of the Handle".
• Place the iron on the rest (6).
• Only connect the machine to a properly installed safety socket, 230 V\~, 50 Hz.
• Set the temperature on the temperature control (2). If you have sensitive items to iron, please begin with the lowest temperature.

i NOTE:

The control lamp (10) on the iron shows that it is heating up. As soon as the control lamp goes off the operating temperature has been reached. Now you can start ironing.

- Always turn the temperature control to "MIN" after use and remove the mains plug (the control lamp in the handle goes off).

Steam Ironing

WARNING:

The iron expels a large quantity of hot steam. Danger of burns.

△ CAUTION:

• When using the steam iron please ensure that the water tank is always filled to the required level.
