The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance complies with the technical rules and standards for safety currently in force (Electromagnetic Compatibility, Low Voltage, Environment).

This appliance is not designed to be used by people (including children) with a physical, sensory or mental impairment, or people without knowledge or experience, unless they are supervised or given prior instructions concerning the use of the appliance by someone responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Caution, before plugging in your iron, check that your mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the information panel on the iron. Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreversible damage to the iron and will invalidate the guarantee. This iron must always be plugged into an earthed socket. If using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated. If you use an extension lead, check that it is adapted to the power indicated on the information panel on the iron.

If the electrical cord becomes damaged, it must be immediately replaced by an Approved Service Centre to avoid any danger. The appliance should not be used if it has fallen, if it has obvious damage, if it leaks or has functional anomalies. Never dismantle your appliance: have it inspected by an Approved Service Centre, so as to avoid any danger.

Never immerse your iron in water!

Do not unplug your appliance by pulling on the cord. Always unplug your appliance: before filling or rinsing the reservoir, before cleaning it, after each use.

Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to a power source; if it has not cooled down for approximately 1 hour. Your appliance gives off steam, which may cause burns, especially when you are ironing on a corner of your ironing board. Never direct the steam towards people or animals.

Your iron should be used and placed on a stable surface. When you put your iron onto its iron rest, make sure that the surface on which you put it is stable.

This product has been designed solely for domestic use. Any inappropriate use or use contrary to the instructions releases the brand from all responsibility and renders the guarantee invalid.

Environment protection first!

Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled. Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.

Keep these instructions

BEFORE USE

1 • Unpacking

Take the iron out of the box and remove all the stickers.

IMPORTANT Before doing anything else, remove the soleplate protector (fig.1)!

2 • What water may be used?

Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water up to 17^ dH (German water hardness). If in doubt, check with your local water authority. However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.

IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the appliance:-water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled

or demineralised water or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or bottled water.

3 • Using for the first time

Plug in the iron (fig.2) and set the temperature control dial (fig.3) to ·s to heat the appliance.

A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this is only temporary.

Unplug the iron (fig.4) and fill the water tank (§ 4 Filling the water tank).

To remove any impurities in the iron's steam chamber, unplug the iron and hold it over a sink horizontally. Push the steam control into the Self Clean position : steam will now begin to build up.

After a few seconds water will emerge from the soleplate, rinsing any impurities out of the steam chamber (fig.5).

Move the steam control to steam position after approx.

1 minute. Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again.

Wait until the remaining water has evaporated. Unplug from the mains and allow the iron to fully cool down.

USE

4 • Filling the water tank

IMPORTANT Before filling the water tank, unplug the iron and set the steam control to dry position.

Tilt the iron. Open the filling inlet (fig.6). Pour in water up to the max mark (fig.7). Close the filler inlet (fig.8) and return the iron to the horizontal.

5 • Setting the temperature

Set the iron temperature to suit the type of material using the temperature control dial (fig.3).

Temperature control*: The temperature control light indicates that the soleplate is heating up. When the temperature control light goes off (fig.9), the set temperature is reached and you can begin ironing.

Ironing label Fabric		Temperature control
	Synthetic fibres, e.g. viscose, polyester...	●
	Silk, wool	●●
	Cotton, linen	●●●

Electronic temperature control*: The traffic lights tell you whether the soleplate is at the selected temperature (fig.10).

YELLOW	The soleplate is still too cold for the selected material.
GREEN	The soleplate is at the right temperature for the selected material.
RED The soleplate is still too hot for the selected material.
AUTO-OFF The automatic electronic cut-out* is active.

IMPORTANT The iron takes longer to cool down than to heat up. We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed at a low temperature. For mixed fabrics set the temperature for the most delicate fabric.

TIP Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

6 • Dry ironing

Set the variable steam control to (fig.11) and set the temperature to suit the type of material (care points •, ••, •••).

7 • Steam ironing

You can steam iron from temperature setting •• upwards. Steam function* The steam quantity can be set to between no steam (minimum steam quantity) and (maximum steam quantity) (fig.12). We recommend setting to maximum steam

quantity only when the iron is at temperature setting .... Auto Steam function* Set the steam button to (fig.13) and the steam quantity will adjust automatically to the soleplate temperature.

8 • Shot of steam

(from temperature setting •• upwards)

IMPORTANT Leave an interval of 4 seconds between each shot and wait until the flow of steam is finished before standing the iron on its heel.

Press the shot of steam button to generate a powerful jet of steam and remove stubborn creases (fig.14).

9 • Vertical shot of steam

(from temperature setting •• upwards)

TIP Hold the iron 10 to 20 centimetres away from the garment to avoid burning delicate fabrics.

Hold the iron to the vertical and press the shot of steam button (fig.15) to remove creases from suits, jackets, skirts, hanging curtains etc.

IMPORTANT Never direct the steam at persons or animals!

10 • Spray

Press the spray button to dampen stubborn creases (fig.16).

11 • Anti-Drip system\*

It prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the temperature is too low.

12 • Automatic electronic 3-position cut-out\*

If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it will automatically switch off and the auto off light will blink after the following intervals (fig. 17):

- After 30 sec., if the iron is left standing on the soleplate or lying on its side.

- After 8 mins., if the iron is left standing on its heel. To switch the iron back on, move the iron gently.

AFTER USE

13 • Emptying

Unplug the iron (fig.4), pour away remaining water (fig.18) and set steam control to .

Open and close the steam control several times (fig.19) to prevent the valve hole into the steam chamber from scaling or blocking up.

14 • Storing

Allow the appliance to cool down before storing the iron standing on its heel (fig.20).

IMPORTANT Do not wind the cord around the hot soleplate. Never store your iron placed down on the soleplate (fig.21).

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT Unplug and allow the iron to fully cool down before maintenance and cleaning.

15 • Anti-scale system

Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale deposits. This considerably prolongs the operational life of your iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of the water tank and does not need to be replaced.

16 • Self Clean function

(prolongs the life of the iron)

The Self Clean function flushes dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.

IMPORTANT Do not use descaling agents, as these damage the lining of the steam chamber and so may impair the steam function.

Fill the water tank with tap untreated water up to the max mark and heat the iron to the ·s temperature. Unplug the iron and hold it over a sink horizontally. Hold the steam control into the Self Clean position (fig.5): steam will now begin to build up. After a few seconds water will emerge from the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the steam chamber.

Move the steam control to position after approx. 1 minute.

Plug in the iron and allow the iron to heat up again. Wait until the remaining water has evaporated. Unplug from the mains and allow the iron to fully cool down.

When cool, the soleplate can be wiped with a damp cloth.

TIP Use the Self Clean function approx. every 2 weeks. If the water is very hard, clean the iron weekly.

17 • Cleaning the iron

When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge, as required.

Remove the dirt from the soleplate with a damp cloth or sponge.

IMPORTANT Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or objects to clean soleplate and other parts of the iron. If the appliance has been standing unused for long periods, use the Self Clean function (see § 16).
