With this connected load a separate supply line protect- ed by a 16 A household circuit breaker is recommended. CAUTION: OVERLOAD!

• If you use extension leads, these should have a cable cross-section of at least 1.5 mm

• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this device is too powerful. Temperature Control on the Iron (1) The symbols on the control correspond to the following settings:

• (Synthetics, silk) low temperature

• • (Wool ) medium temperature

• • • (Cotton, linen) highest temperature Water Tank (9)

• In order to ll the water tank by removing the seal (10).

• Please use the funnel supplied.

• The tank volume is 0.7 litres.

• In order to prevent the contents of the tank from leaking, do not over ll the tank. In this way you will prevent any excess water from coming out of the soleplate.

• Then re-tighten the seal. Water Please use only distilled water. Do not ll 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. 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 NOTE:

• Sort out the garments according to their ironing temperatures.

• Always set the temperature control to „0“ before connecting the appliance to a power point, or before disconnecting it.

• Place the iron on the rest (11).

• Only connect the machine to a properly installed safety socket, 230 V/50 Hz.

• Set the temperature on the temperature control (1). If you have sensitive items to iron, please begin with the lowest temperature. NOTE: The control lamp (12) on the iron shows that it is heating up. As soon as the control lamp goes o the operating temperature has been reached. Now you can start ironing.

• Always turn the temperature control to „0“ after use and remove the mains plug (the control lamp in the handle goes o ). Steam Ironing

The iron expels a large quantity of hot steam. Danger of burns. CAUTION: When using the steam iron please ensure that the wa- ter tank is always lled to the required level. Operating the device without water will damage it. 05-DBS 5532.indd 3505-DBS 5532.indd 35 16.02.2009 9:33:27 Uhr16.02.2009 9:33:27 UhrEnglish

CAUTION: INITIAL USE: Please proceed as follows:

• The tank should only be lled up to the maximum mark. Do not over ll!

• If there is any residual water in the tank, we recom- mend that you do the following:

• Continue ironing with steam until the control lamp (5) shows that there is not enough water and no further steam comes out of the soleplate of the iron. Then ll up the water tank as instructed (see under „How do I ll in water during operation“). or:

• Pour the residual water into a measuring cup and ll it with distilled water up to the maxi- mum mark of the tank (0.7 litres).

• Close the water tank.

• Connect the base station to a 230 V / 50 Hz socket with earthing contact.

• Turn the switch (4) on the base on.

• Set the desired temperature within the range „• •“ to „• • •“.

• Please wait until the control lamp (6) on the base lights up.

• Now press the steam jet button (12) for at least 1 minute or use the bar (13) to lock the steam jet button in place. NOTE:

• This time is needed for the steam to reach the iron.

• Keep a cloth ready! During this phase water also comes out of the soleplate of the iron.

• When only steam comes out without any water you can stop the procedure. Then press the steam jet button another 2-3 times without touching the clothes that are to be ironed.

• After you have ironed an old but clean cloth a few times, your station is ready for use.

• In order to regulate the steam quantity, please use the steam regulator (7).

• When ironing at low temperatures, please ensure that you do not use any steam. If the temperature is too low water may leak from the soleplate. Vertical Steam This can be used to produce a jet of steam in a vertical direction. Hang your laundry on a clothes hanger and move the iron to approximately 2-3cm away. How can I replenish the water during operation? If the pressure falls during operation you can ll more water into the tank at the same time. Re ll with water before the tank is completely empty. The lamp (5) shows that there is not enough water.

• If you have been using the permanent steam func- tion, release the bar (13).

• Turn the switch (4) on the base o . NOTE: If there is still some residual pressure in the water tank, a safety lock prevents the water tank catch (10) from being opened.

The residual pressure rst has to be relieved before the device can be safely opened.

• With the steam jet button (12) you can now release the residual steam pressure. If no more steam comes out of the soleplate, please remove the plug and release the water tank lock (10) carefully.

• The steam is hot! There is a danger of scal- ding!

• Do not touch the hot iron! NOTE: If it is not yet possible to open the lock of the wa- ter tank the device needs a further 2 to 3 minutes to cool down. Then release the residual pressure again.

• Fill the tank with the help of the funnel. Do not over ll! Take care of water splashes that might come out of the boiler. In order to avoid water splashing out, the water should be lled into the funnel after the safety lock has been opened and the iron allowed to cool down for about 1 to 2 minutes.

• Close the water tank.

• Continue ironing. NOTE: Keep a cloth ready! At rst water may also be expelled from the soleplate of the iron.

Never open the water tank lock while the device is being operated. When you have nished

Self-Cleaning Due to the large amount of heat produced and the pres- sure of the steam, residues that form in the soleplate are removed automatically. Cleaning AVVISO:

• Always remove the mains lead before cleaning!

• Wait until the machine has cooled down complete- ly.

• Under no circumstances should you immerse the device in water for cleaning purposes. Otherwise this might result in an electric shock or re. CAUTION:

• Clean the casing with a slightly damp cloth.

• Clean the sole plate and the rest with a slightly damp cloth.

• Any residual water can remain in the water tank, but should be pour ed out if it has been in the tank for a prolonged period. Troubleshooting Fault Possible Cause Remedy Device does not work Faulty mains socket Try another socket The device suddenly stops working during operation Is the electric cir- cuit overloaded? Check the house fuse During steam operation water is emitted from the soleplate of the iron. The temperature regulator on the iron is set too low Select a higher temperature The required steam pressure has not yet built up

• Wait until the control lamp (6) on the base lights up

• Press the steam jet button 2 to 3 times without touching your ironing There is too much water in the tank Empty the tank and ll in only the stated maximum amount of water. Please note the instructions above! Fault Possible Cause Remedy When the iron is switched on again you hear loud noises in the water tank. Since the last time the iron was used the tank seal has never been opened. A subpressure has built up. During heating ascending air bubbles burst inside the tank. This is a normal process. Press the steam pressure button 2 to 3 times in order to equalise the pressure. During opera- tions team is emitted from the seal (10). The device is broken. Please contact our service department.
