1. Before rst use. Remove all

adhesive remains and gently rub with a dampened cloth. Position the steam generator iron horizontally on the ironing-board or on a heat resistant, secure surface at the same height as an ironing-board. Unwind and straighten the power cord and the steam cord. When turned on for the rst time, temporary vapours/ odours may occur.

2. Open the water tank lid. Fill

the water tank using cold water. It is recommended to use AEG AquaSense ltered water, taking out impurities like limescale. Otherwise use destilled water. If the tap water is particularly hard, use a mix of 50% destilled water and 50% tap water. Empty the water tank to rinse out any foreign particles which may remain from the manufacturing process.

3. Always rell the water tank to

MAX level using cold water (A). Replace the water tank lid. Caution! Never operate the appliance without any water in the tank.

Connect the steam generator iron to the mains supply. Turn the power knob (A) clockwise to MAX. Turn the temperature selector clockwise to maximum setting (B). The temperature indicator light on the iron will illuminate. Then, select a steam level by turning the steam level control knob between low - medium - high steam (C).

When the temperature indicator light turns on, the steam station is pre-heating. When the light turns o, it is ready to be used. Press and hold the steam button for some seconds to get steam. Then hold for a few more seconds in order to clean the steam generating system.

5. The steam generator is equipped with

ECO setting. Ironing on ECO setting ( ECO setting needs to be selected on both temperature dial and control panel) instead of MAX setting saves up to 20 % energy consumption. ECO setting is using lower pressure, producing lower steam rate but delivering faster heat-up time.

Iron an old towel, to ensure that any residues inside the iron are not transferred to the laundry. If necessary, wipe the soleplate with a slightly damp cloth.

Operating instructions

8. To activate the steam function,

press the steam button for 3-5 seconds, release the button to eject a concentrated jet of steam. When releasing the button, use up the steam before putting it back on the iron rest of the steam station. It is recommended that the steam button is used for short periods. Caution! Never release steam while the iron is standing on its rest.

9. Continuous (AUTO) steam

function: Press and hold the steam button, and move the steam activation slider forward, to lock the steam button. Release both buttons. A jet steam will eject continuously and steadily (AUTO STEAM). To unlock the steam button and stop the continuous jet steam, press the steam activation slider backwards. 10.Turn o the iron by turning the power knob counterclockwise.

11. Always cool the iron fully on the

iron rest before stowing away. Once the iron is cool, empty the water tank. Store the steam generator iron on the iron rest.

12. Always store the cord by the cord

storage on the generator base. NEVER wind the power cord around the iron.

1. Position the appliance so that the

boiler safety cap is uppermost. Remove the rubber cover, unscrew the boiler safety cap using the at key enclosed in the bottom. Turn the appliance upside-down over a sink and completely empty the boiler.

3. Fill the mixture into the boiler

and tighten the boiler safety cap. Soak for one to two hours under room temperature (increase the soaking time if necessary; max 8 hours).

5. When nished using the

appliance, turn the temperature dial to the OFF (“MIN“) position. Store the iron on the iron rest. Note: Do not store the iron with water in the tank.

2. Mix a descaler agent and water

at the specied ratio, prepare at least 300ml descaler mixture. (Use recommended ratio for the mixture, if there is much scaling, properly increase the proportion of descaler.) Note: We recommend to use the descaler ECF5 from AEG. Please follow the water/ descaler liquid ratio instructions on the bottle. We recommend to clean the product every 2 months.

4. Pour out the mixture. Fill the boiler

with clean water, then pour it out. Repeat this step for several times until the scales are removed and there is no longer a descaler smell. Place back one measuring cup of clean water in the boiler before reassembling.

CLOGGING DUE TO LIME. Once cleaning is done, do not keep the boiler completely empty but leave some water still there (before closing it again). Cleaning

13. Always store iron on its heel rest.

To clean exterior surfaces, use a damp soft cloth and wipe dry. Caution: Do not use any chemical solvents, as these will damage the surface.

Problem Possible cause Solution Soleplate is not heating even though iron is turned on. Connection problem Check main power supply cable, plug and outlet. Temperature control is in MIN position. Select adequate temperature. Iron does not produce steam. Not enough water in tank. Fill water tank (see “Getting started”, no 2). Steam control is selected in non-steam position (‘MIN’). Set steam control between positions of minimum steam and maximum steam. Selected temperature is lower than that specified to use with steam. Increase temperature to at least

Steam jet and vertical steam jet function does not work. Steam jet function was used very frequently within a short period. Put iron on horizontal position and wait before using steam jet function. Iron is not hot enough. Adjust the proper temperature to steam ironing (up to ). Put iron in vertical position and wait until temperature indicator light turns o. Water leaks from the soleplate during ironing. The iron is not hot enough. Set the temperature dial to a temperature

to maximum) suitable for steam ironing. Put the iron on its heel and wait until the light has gone out before you start ironing. Flakes and impurities come out of the soleplate during ironing. You have used hard water, which has caused scale akes to develop in the water tank. Press and hold the steam button for about one minute to get steam. Then hold one more minute in order to clean the steam generating system. Iron an old towel, to ensure that any residues inside the iron are not transferred to the laundry. Water leaks from the soleplate while the iron is cooling down or after it has been stored. The iron has been put in horizontal position while there is still water in the water tank. Empty the water tank and set the steam control to position o before storing the iron. Brown streaks come out of the soleplate while ironing and stain the linen. You have used chemical descaling agents. Do not use any descaling agents. Fabric bres have accumulated in the holes of the soleplate and are burning. Clean the soleplate with a damp soft cloth. Fabrics might not be properly rinsed or the garments are new and have not been washed before ironing. Please rinse the laundry properly again.
