• Open the cap of the water tank (6).

• Fill the water tank with tap water, taking care not to exceed the “max“ level but at least up to the mark “min” otherwise the appliance is not ready to start ironing. If you have extremely hard water, we recommend that you use a mixture of 50 % tap water and 50 % distilled water.

• Never use distilled water exclusively. Do not add any additives (e.g. starch). Do not use condensation water from a tumble dryer.

• Close the cap of the water tank.

• When the water level is low, the icon is permanently on.

• The iron will start to heat up: During this, the temperature control light on the iron (11) turns on. Once the desired temperature is reached, the temperature control light switches off.

• For steam ironing, set the temperature between temperature level 2 (••) and “max“ on the temperature selector and press the steam button (13) below the iron handle. Steam will come out from all the holes in the soleplate. Please do not set temperature below level 2 (••) for steam ironing to avoid water drops coming out of the sole plate.

• For dry ironing, select the temperature most suitable for the garments to be ironed, then iron without pressing the steam button (13) or precision shot button (12). Take care that after 10 minutes of dry iron, the steam station turns into „stand-by“ mode.

• The unique round shape of the 3D eloxal soleplate ensures best gliding results on difficult parts (e. g. buttons, pockets and tough wrinkles).

• Vertical steam: The iron can be used as well for steaming hanging clothes (B). Note: When starting the ironing session or when you have not used the steam function for some time, the steam still present in the supply hose will condense into water. This may cause some spluttering in the appliance and a few drops of water may come out from the soleplate. ECO Function

• For ironing with lower steam press the ECO button (3) and the icon turns permanently on.
