English7 Using the appliance OptimalTEMP technology

Warning: Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.

The OptimalTEMP technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without adjusting the iron temperature and without sorting your garments. It is safe to just rest the hot soleplate directly on the ironing board (Fig. 6) without putting back to the iron platform. This will help reduce the stress on your wrist. - Fabrics with these symbols (Fig. 7) are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon. - Fabrics with this symbol (Fig. 8) are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such as Spandex or elastane, Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolens (e.g. polypropylene). Prints on garments are not ironable either. Ironing 1 Place the steam generator on a stable and even surface. Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the base on a stable ironing board. 2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank (see 'Filling the water tank'). 3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/o button to switch on the steam generator.Wait until the 'iron ready' light lights up continuously (Fig. 9). This takes approx. 2 minutes. 4 Remove the water supply hose from the water supply hose storage compartment. 5 Press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the iron platform (Fig. 10). 6 Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing (Fig. 11). 7 For best ironing results, after ironing with steam, perform the last strokes without steam.

Warning: Never direct steam at people.

For more powerful steam, you can use the turbo steam mode. 1 Press and hold the on/o button for 5 seconds until the light turns white. 2 The appliance returns to normal steam mode automatically after 15 minutes to save energy. 3 Otherwise, to switch back to normal steam mode at any time, press and hold the on/o button for 2seconds until the light turns blue again.

The OptimalTEMP technology ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing board cover. English8 Energy saving Eco mode By using the ECO mode (reduced amount of steam), you can save energy without compromising on the ironing result. 1 To activate the ECO mode, press the ECO button (Fig. 15).

Warning: Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains. Always unplug

the appliance after use. Cleaning and maintenance Descaling the appliance Perform the descaling procedure when the EASY DE-CALC light starts to ash (Fig. 16). This helps to prolong the lifetime of the appliance and optimizes the ironing performance. Note: If your water is hard, increase the descaling frequency.

Warning: To avoid the risk of burns, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least two hours

before you perform the descaling procedure (Fig. 17). Tip: When you perform the descaling procedure, place the appliance on the edge of the table top or near the sink. Water may ow out of the appliance when the EASY DE-CALC knob is being opened. 1 Hold a cup (with a capacity of at least 350 ml) under the EASY DE-CALC knob and turn the knob anti- clockwise. Remove the EASY DE-CALC knob and let the water with scale particles ow into the cup. (Fig.18) 2 When no more water comes out of the appliance, reinsert the EASY DE-CALC knob and tighten it (Fig.19). Descaling the soleplate If you do not descale your appliance regularly, you may see brown stains coming out of the soleplate due to scale particles. Descale the soleplate by following the procedure below. We advise you to perform the procedure twice for better results. 1 Make sure the appliance is cool and clean the soleplate with a damp cloth. 2 Empty the water tank through the lling door (Fig. 20). Tilt the appliance and remove the EASY DE-CALC knob. 3 Pour 500ml distilled water into the DE-CALC opening and tighten the EASY DE-CALC knob (Fig. 21). 4 Fill up the water tank halfway.
