Important safety instructions

• Do not leave the steam iron unattended while connected. Always remove the plug from the wall socket, even if you leave the room only for a short while.

- Do not use the iron if it has been dropped onto a hard surface, or if it shows any sign of damage or leakage.

- The iron must be used and stored on a stable and durable surface only.

- Even with the iron placed on its back rest, ensure that this too is on a stable and durable surface.

- In order to avoid hazards, repairs to this electrical appliance or its power cord must be carried out by our customer service. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to our customer service department (see appendix).

- Before cleaning the

appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.

• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water.

- Before refilling or emptying the water reservoir, remove the plug from the wall socket.

- This appliance may be used by children (at least 8 years of age) and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved.

• Children must not be permitted to play with the

appliance.

• Children must not be permitted to carry out any cleaning or maintenance work on the appliance unless they are supervised and at least 8 years of age.

- While switched on or still cooling down after use, the iron and its power cord must be kept well away from children under 8 years of age.

- Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children – these are a potential source of danger, e.g. of suffocation.

- Do not operate the appliance if excessive force has been used to pull the power cord. Damage cannot always be detected from the outside; the entire unit should therefore be checked by a qualified technician before it is used again.

- The appliance operates at very high temperatures. Do not touch any part of the appliance except the handle. Burns can occur from touching the hot parts of the housing or the soleplate and from hot water or steam. Do not allow steam to escape in the direction of anyone nearby. When operating the steam iron, hold only by the handle.

- The iron should only be placed on heat-resistant surfaces, never near hot surfaces (eg hot-plates) or in the vicinity

of open gas flames.

• Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces. Do not coil the power cord round the appliance.
  • Always remove the plug from the wall socket

• after use,

• in case of any malfunction,

• before cleaning the appliance.

• When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.

• No responsibility is accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.

• This appliance is intended for domestic or similar applications, such as

• in shops, offi ces and other similar working environments,

• in agricultural working environments,
• by customers in hotels, motels etc. and similar establishments,
• in bed-and breakfast type environments.

Filling with water

Fill the water reservoir before using the steam function or the spray nozzle. Remove the plug from the wall socket before filling the reservoir.

• This steam iron is to a large extent resistant to hard water (up to 15^ ).
  Although normal tap water may be used, it is advisable to use distilled, demineralised or decalcified water.
  Should you be unsure about the hardness of the water in your area, please enquire of the relevant local authority department.
• Turn the steam control button all the way to the left to its Off-position.
• Fill the empty water reservoir using the measuring cup provided. Fill to the

indicated "Max" level only.

General information about ironing

Before ironing, always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the article to be ironed.

- The meaning of the ironing symbols is as follows:

• synthetics (low temperature)
- silk and wool (medium temperature)
•• cotton and linen (high temperature)

• These markings can also be found on the temperature control knob of the steam iron in form of dot symbols.

• Laundry to be ironed should be sorted according to the fabric ironing temperature. Follow the ironing symbols and start with the lowest temperature.
• When ironing highly sensitive fabrics, or if you are not sure about the fabrics, you may carefully test-iron at a non-visible point, e.g. inside of seam. Start with the lowest temperature.
• If the laundry is being dried in a dryer before ironing, the temperature should be adjusted to "iron dry". Very dry fabrics are diffi cult to iron.

Start up

Clean the steam iron before using for the first time, according to the instructions given in the paragraph Cleaning and care - Self-cleaning system. This will result in the removal of possible dust particles from the soleplate and subsequently lessen the smell typically encountered when first switching on.

Please ensure sufficient ventilation.

Ironing

• Steam ironing requires high temperatures.

The temperature level for steam ironing is indicated on the temperature control knob.

- After filling the reservoir with water, place the steam iron upright on its base stand and insert the plug into the wall socket.

- Set the temperature control knob to the required ironing temperature as indicated by the ironing symbols.

- During the heating-up process the indicator lamp will be on. The lamp will go out once the required ironing temperature is reached.

- Before ironing any fabrics, the soleplate should be cleaned by passing it over an old, clean cotton cloth, while using the steam jet function; this helps to flush out any dirt residues or lint particles trapped inside the openings in the soleplate.

- The steam output can be continuously adjusted with the steam control button or completely switched off for dry ironing.

- For dry ironing, the water reservoir may be empty. Should there be water left in the reservoir, the steam jet function may also be used when dry-ironing at higher temperature settings.

- Place the steam iron upright on its base stand after use and remove the plug from the wall socket.

Steam Jet

When the steam jet button ( ) is depressed, an additional hot steam jet is emitted from the soleplate. This function can be very useful when removing stubborn creases.

For a suffi ciently strong steam jet, the reservoir must be at least a quarter full.

Spray nozzle

The laundry can be dampened by pressing the spray button (≡≡≡). This will help to smooth out diffi cult areas. The spray nozzle may be used at any temperature level during dry or steam ironing.

Cleaning and care

- Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.

- To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water.

- If necessary, the unit may be wiped with a dry fuzz-free cloth.

- Starch, fat and other deposits on the soleplate may be removed with a woollen cloth soaked in a vinegar-water solution.

- Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.

- Do not put vinegar or other descalers into the water reservoir.

Self-cleaning system

The self-cleaning system fl ushes out loose mineral deposits and keeps the appliance free of lime and dust particles. Self-cleaning should be performed if the iron has not been used for an extended period of time, or otherwise every 10-15 days. Proceed as follows:

- Fill the water reservoir up to the maximum level mark with water.

- Place the iron on its base stand and insert the plug into the wall socket.

- Set the temperature control to its maximum.

- Wait until the indicator lamp goes out.

- Remove the plug from the wall socket.

- Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.

• With the self-cleaning button pressed, swing the iron lightly to and fro until no more steam or hot water is emitted.
• Pour out any remaining water from the reservoir.
• Allow the soleplate to cool down before cleaning it with a damp, lint-free cloth.

Storage

• Turn off the steam iron, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the unit cool down completely.
• Pour any remaining water out of the reservoir through the water fill hole.
• To avoid damage to the soleplate, store the steam iron in upright position on its base stand.
