Important safety instructions ● Before the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects or leakage. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance. ● Great care is necessary in using any appliance, especially near children. Do not leave the steam iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board. Always remove the plug from the wall socket and place the steam iron on its base stand. ● The iron must be used and stored on a stable and durable surface only. ● With the iron placed on its rest, ensure that this too is on a stable and durable surface. ● 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. When operating the steam iron, hold only by the handle. Do not allow steam to escape in the direction of anyone nearby. ● Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces. Do not coil the power cord round the appliance. ● Always place the appliance on a flat, level and heat-resistant surface during operation. Do not position the appliance on or near hot surfaces or open flames such as hot-plates or gas flames. ● 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. ● This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. ● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. ● Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children, as they are a potential source of danger e.g. from suffocation. ● Do not operate the appliance if excessive force has been used to pull the power Steam Iron

8cord. Damage cannot always be detected from the outside; the entire unit should therefore be checked by a qualified technician before it is used again. ● Before refilling or emptying the water reservoir, remove the plug from the wall socket. ● No responsibility is accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with. ● This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications. ● In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The addresses can be found in the appendix to this manual. Anti-scale filter A special filter in the generator reservoir softens the water and reduces the build-up of lime deposits in the sole plate. 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 15º dH). 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. ● To prevent water from dripping from the sole plate, ensure that the steam control button is closed. It should be opened only once the temperature level required for steam ironing (as indicated on the temperature control knob) has been reached.

Open the cover of the water fill hole.

Fill the empty water reservoir using the measuring cup provided. Fill the reservoir to the indicated “Max” level only.

Close the water fill hole. Anti-drip function If the temperature of the soleplate is not sufficient to produce steam, the water supply is cut off automatically to prevent dripping. General information about 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 difficult to iron. Start up Clean the steam iron before using for the first time, according to the instructions given in the paragraph “General Care and Cleaning - Self-cleaning system”. This will result in the removal of possible dust 9particles 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 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 the regular amount of steam emitted is not sufficient to remove stubborn creases or when ironing difficult or thick fabrics. Using the Spray Nozzle The laundry can be dampened by pressing the spray button. This will help to smooth out difficult areas. The spray nozzle may be used at any temperature level during dry or steam ironing. General Care and Cleaning ● 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 flushes 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 red indicator light goes out.

Remove the plug from the wall socket.

Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.

With the self-cleaning button depressed, 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 sole plate to cool down before 10cleaning 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.
