• Observe the ironing instructions on the clothes label.

• Turn woolen clothes inside out to avoid shiny spots on the fabric due to steam ironing. In addition, lay a thin cotton cloth onto the fabric.

• Select a low temperature setting for fabrics with addi- tional surface treatment and iron them inside out. NOTE: The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Start ironing with the lowest temperature setting. Amount of Steam The desired steam level can be adjusted with the steam ow controller. Choose between “ MIN ” and “ MAX ”. Water Tank

• The water tank has a recessed grip on the bottom so that it can be removed.

• The “ MAX ” marking is located at the lling hole. Do not ll the tank above this mark. The tank volume is 1.0 litre.

• An appliance that is defective due to build-up of limes- cale shall not be covered by the free warranty. Do not ll battery water, water from the clothes dryer and water containing additives (such as starch, perfume, sof- tener 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 temper- atures.

you have sensitive items to iron, please begin with the lowest temperature. NOTE: The control lamp (5) on the iron indicates the heating process. As soon as this goes out, the operating tem- perature is reached. You can now begin ironing. Steam Ironing

The iron expels a large quantity of hot steam. Danger of burns! CAUTION: When using the steam iron please ensure that the water tank is always lled to the required level. CAUTION: Initial Use: Please proceed as follows:

1. Remove the water tank by grasping the water tank

2. Fill the water tank with distilled water. Fill the water

tank to the maximal marking only. Do not overll!

CAUTION: Initial Use:

9. Turn the steam ow controller to “ MAX ”. Now press

the steam button for at least 20 seconds or until the steam begins to discharge from the iron soleplate. This time is needed for the steam to reach the iron. A slightly louder noise of the pump is normal with this. CAUTION:

• A high temperature is needed to iron with steam.

• If the temperature is too low, the iron soleplate does not become hot enough to evaporate the water. Thereby water will be able to discharge from the iron soleplate when you keep the steam button pressed.

• Set the temperature control at least to the “ ” symbol.

• Adjust the amount of steam to the temperature of the iron with the steam ow controller.

• The soleplate might cool down after continuously long steam ironing. Thus it is possible that water escapes out of the soleplate. This is not a malfunction of the appliance. Reduce the steam level with the steam ow controller. Or you can wait until the iron soleplate has heated up again before pressing the steam button again. Vertical Steam Function The vertical steam function allows a constant burst of steam in a vertical direction. This function can be used to remove creases from hanging clothes or from curtains.

Do not direct the steam at any persons. Danger of burns! Hang the washing on a hanger. Guide the iron closely over the material as specied by the material. How Can I Replenish the Water During Operation? Rell with water before the tank is completely empty. A loud noise of the pump during operation indicates that the water level is too low.
