6. Set the main power button (8) to the “I” position.

7. The “Steam ready” indicator lamp (4) will light up

after several minutes, indicating that the appliance is ready to use. The steam generator will take more time to reach “Steam ready” state only upon the initial heating up, or after performing the de-scaling operation (Calc’n clean). When water is already present in the steam generator during regular use, heat up time to reach the operating temperature will be faster.

8. This appliance has a built-in water level sensor. The

“refill water tank” indicator (3) will light when the water tank is empty. Important: Normal tap water can be used. To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap water with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water in your district is very hard, mix tap water with distilled water 1:2. You can inquire about the water hardness with your local water supplier. The water tank can be filled at any time while using the appliance. To avoid damage and/or contamination of the water tank and the boiler, do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, additives or any other type of chemical product into the water tank. Any damage caused by the use of the aforementioned products, will make the guarantee void. The iron is not designed to rest on its heal. Please always position it horizontally on the iron pad (2). The iron pad can be placed into the specially de- signed recess on the appliance or somewhere suit- able alongside the ironing area. Never rest the iron on the appliance without the iron pad!. During it first use the iron may produce certain vapours and odours, along with white particles on the soleplate, this is normal and it will stop after a few minutes While the steam release button is pressed, the water tank may produce a pumping sound, this is normal, indicating that water is being pumped to the steam tank. Setting the temperature

1. Check the ironing instruction label on the garment to

determine the correct ironing temperature.

2. Turn the temperature selector (13) to the required

setting: Synthetics Silk – Wool Cotton – Linen

3. The indicator lamp (14) will remain lit while the iron is

heating and go out as soon as the iron has reached the selected temperature. Tips: Sort your garments out based on their cleaning symbol labels, always starting with clothes that have to be ironed at the lowest temperatures. If you are not sure what the garment is made of then begin ironing at a low temperature and decide on13 the correct temperature by ironing a small section not usually seen when worn Ironing with steam (B)

1. Turn the temperature selector (13) to the required

2. Set the amount of steam to suit your needs, using

the variable steam control (5) (depending on the model). For normal use, please choose one of the following recommended settings: Temperature Steam setting

3. Press the steam release button to release steam.

If the appliance has variable steam control (5), set the variable steam control to its lowest position

If the appliance does not have variable steam con- trol, press the steam release button only for a few seconds at a time when ironing at lower tempera- tures. In both cases, if you find that water is dripping out of the soleplate, set the temperature selector (13) to a higher position (take care that the garment can be ironed on this heat temperature setting).

2. At the beginning of each use, it is possible that

drops of water will be dispensed alongside steam. Therefore, it is advisable to try the iron on the ironing board or a piece of cloth to start with. Important: The steam hose may get hot if you are ironing for long periods. Cork handle iron (depending on the model): To get permanent steam, press the lock button (16) and slide it backwards until it locks. To switch off the permanent steam, slide the lock button forward. Ironing without steam

1. Begin ironing but without pressing the steam release

button (15). Vertical steam (C)

1. Set the temperature control to the “” or “max”

2. You can steam iron curtains and hanging garments

(jackets, suits, coats...) by placing the iron in a vertical position and pressing the steam release button (15). Never direct the steam jet at garments that are being worn. Never aim the steam at people or animals. h) Press the steam release button (15) and gently shake the iron. Boiling water and steam will come out, carrying scale and or deposits that might be there. This could take approximately 5 minutes.

i) Set the temperature selector (14) of the iron to the

“max” position, without pressing the steam release button (15). The water in the steam chamber will start evaporating. Wait until all the water inside the chamber has been evaporated. j) To clean the soleplate, immediately rub off any residue by running the hot iron over dry cotton cloth. “Energy saving” button (depending on the model) If the “Energy saving” button (6) is switched on, you can save up to 25% of the energy and 40% of the water consumption, and still have a good ironing result for most of your garments. It is advisable to use the normal energy setting only for thick and highly wrinkled fabrics. Intelligent steam (depending on the model) This system has intelligent steam control, which, after releasing the steam release button (15), provides a small amount of additional steam. The additional steam can always be stopped by briefly pressing the steam release button once again. Auto shut-off (depending on the model) If during ironing the steam release button (15) on the handle of the iron is not pressed for a certain length of time (8 minutes), the steam station will automatically switch off. The “Auto shut-off” pilot lamp (4) will flash when auto shut-off has been activated. To switch the steam station back on, press the steam release button again, and wait until the “Auto shut-off” pilot lamp remains lit continuously. en14

• Depending on the model Fabric protection soleplate cover (E) (depending on the model) The fabric-protection soleplate cover is used for steam- ironing delicate garments at maximum temperature without damaging them. Use of the soleplate cover also does away with the need for a cloth to prevent shine on dark materials. It is advisable to first iron a small section on the inside of the garment to see if it is suitable. To attach the soleplate cover to the iron, place the tip of the iron into the end of the soleplate cover and pull the elastic strap over the lower rear of the iron until it fits tightly. To release the soleplate cover, pull the elastic strap and remove the iron. The fabric-protection soleplate cover may be purchased from the customer service or specialist shops: Accessory code (After- sales) Name of accessory (Specialist outlets) 571510 TDZ2045 464745* TDZ2520*

• Cork handle iron “Calc‘n clean” (F) Cleaning the Boiler To extend the life of your steam generator and to avoid any build up of scale, it is essential that you rinse out the boiler after several hours of use (approximately after 50 hours). If the water is hard, increase the frequency. Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.

1. Check that the appliance is cold and unplugged for

more than 2 hours, and that the removable water tank (1) is empty.

2. Place your appliance on the edge of your kitchen

3. Remove the plastic cover located on the bottom of

the appliance by turning it to the position.

4. Unscrew the boiler drainage plug located on the

bottom of the appliance using a coin.

5. Holding your steam generator in upside down

position, and using a jug, fill the boiler (in the base unit) with 1/4 litre of water

6. Shake the base unit for a few moments and then

empty it completely over a sink or bucket. To obtain the best result, we recommend that this operation is done twice Important: before re-closing, make sure no water remains in the boiler.

7. Replace and tighten up the boiler drainage plug with

8. Insert and close the plastic cover by turning it to the

position. Automatic clean warning (depending on model) Pilot light (3) will flash indicating that boiler must be rinsed. To do this, follow the procedure described in the section above. To reset “Calc‘n clean” pilot light and counter, switch the station off twice, keeping it off during at least 30 seconds each time. T15

Trouble shooting Problem Possible causes Solution The steam generator does not come on. There is a connection problem. The main power button is not switched on. Check the mains cable, the plug and the socket. Set the main power button (8) to the “I” position. The iron does not heat up. The main power button is not switched on. The temperature control knob is set to the “min” position. Set the main power button (8) to the “I” position. Set the temperature control knob (13) to the desired position. The iron begins to smoke when switched on. During first use: Certain components on the appliance have been lightly greased at the factory and may produce a little smoke when initially heated. During later use: the soleplate may be soiled. This is completely normal and will stop after a short while. Clean the soleplate according to the cleaning instructions in this manual. Water flows through the holes on the sole plate. The steam function is being used before it has reached temperature. The water is condensing inside the pipes because steam is being used for the first time or has not been used for a long time. Reduce the steam flow when ironing at low temperatures (Variable steam control (5)). Point the iron away from the ironing area and press the steam release button (15) until steam is produced. Dirt comes out through the sole plate. There is a build-up of scale or minerals in the steam tank. Chemical products or additives have been used. Use tap water mixed 50% with dis tilled or demineralised water. If the tap water in your district is very hard, mix tap water with distilled water 1:2. Clean the sole plate with a damp cloth. Never add products to the boiler water. The iron does not produce any steam. The boiler is not switched on or the water tank is empty. The water tank is not fitted onto the housing correctly. The steam regulator is set to the minimum position. Set the main power button (8) to the “I” position and/or fill the water tank. Fit the water tank back onto the hou- sing correctly (you will hear a click). Increase the steam flow by turning the steam control (5). Rinsing the iron steam chamber (G) Caution! Risk of burns! This procedure helps to remove scale particles out of the steam chamber. Carry it out approximately every 2 weeks, if the water in your area is very hard. a) Ensure that the iron is cooled down. b) Set the temperature selector (14) of the iron to the “min” position. c) Fill the tank with tap water. d) Plug in the mains cable and set the main power switch (12) to the “I” position. e) Wait until the “steam ready” indicator lamp (9) lights up. f) If the steam station has steam regulator (10), set it to the maximum position

g) Hold the iron over the sink or a container to collect the water.16

Problem Possible causes Solution The ironed gar- ment turns dark and/or sticks to the soleplate. The selected temperature is too high and has damaged the garment. Select a suitable temperature for the material being and clean the sole plate with a damp cloth. The soleplate turns brown. This is a regular consequence of usage. Clean the soleplate regularly with a damp cloth. The iron does not stop steaming after placing it on the pad. “Intelligent steam” function activated. Just press the trigger once again and the iron will stop steaming at once. The appliance makes a pumping sound. Water is being pumped into the steam tank. The sound will not stop. This is normal. If the sound will not stop, do not use the steam generator and contact an authorised technical service centre. Loss of pressure during ironing. Steam release button activated during a long period of time. Use the steam release button (15) with intervals. This improves the ironing result as the textiles will be dried and stay smooth better. Water leakage from the boiler Drainage plug located at the bottom of the appliance is loose. Tighten up boiler drainage plug with a coin If the above does not solve the problem, get in touch with authorized technical service. Advice on disposal Our goods come in optimised packaging.
