PRIOR TO FIRST USE

• Remove the protective film from the soleplate (7).
• Some parts of the steam iron were oiled during manufacture and these will therefore smoke slightly when the iron is first used. This is entirely safe, and the smoke will disappear once the steam iron has been used a few times. Test it on a piece of material or similar before using it on clothes.

USE

Filling with water (for steam ironing)

• Make sure that the steam iron is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
- Make sure that the steam button + temperature button is in position MIN before filling with water.
- Fill water in the water tank through the water tank lid, until the water reached the max mark indicated on the side of the iron. Never fill above this mark.
- Pour out the remaining water after use.
- Do not use chemically descaled water.

Setting the temperature

- Select the required iron temperature using the thermostat knob:

Nylon

•• Wool, silk
••• Cotton or linen

- Place the steam iron on its end, so it stands upright. Plug in and switch the power on.

• Do not start ironing until the indicator light (5) goes out. The indicator light switches on and off during ironing, as the thermostat regulates the temperature of the steam iron.
• If you turn the temperature up using the thermostat button, you should not start to iron until the indicator light goes out.

Steam ironing

Steam ironing is only possible at high temperatures. Do not use steam ironing when the thermostat knob is at position

•. If you do, water runs out from the soleplate, because the steam iron is not hot enough to convert all the water to steam.

- Check that there is sufficient water in the reservoir.

- Set the thermostat knob to the required position (at least ••)

- Plug in. Start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.

- When the steam release knob (2) is pressed, it is equivalent to setting the steam ironing function to "off" mode. Then there is no steam released from the sole plate.

- When the steam release knob (2) is pressed again, the knob (2) will bounce back to its original position. This is equivalent to setting the steam ironing function to "on" mode. Then the steam will be continuously released from the sole plate.

Dry ironing

You dry iron in the same way as you steam iron, except the steam setting selection knob must be in position 0.

Tips!

• Always stand the iron upright if you take a break from ironing!
• Always iron synthetic fabrics and silk on the reverse. This avoids shiny spots on the fabric.
- Wool products (100% wool) may be pressed when the steam iron is set to steam position. We recommend using the setting for maximum steam, with a layer of dry fabric between the steam iron and the item to be ironed.

CLEANING

• Remove the plug from the socket before cleaning.
• Pour any excess water from the water reservoir.
• Stand the steam iron upright, and allow it to cool completely.

- Remove starch etc. from the soleplate using a damp cloth with a little detergent. Wipe off with a dry cloth.

- Never use a scouring sponge or abrasive cleaning agents on the soleplate.

• We recommend that you clean the steam iron thoroughly once a month as follows:

o Fill the water reservoir half full and stand the steam iron upright.

o Set the thermostat knob to ron in position •••, plug the i and switch on the power.

o Wait until the indicator light goes off. Unplug the iron and hold it horizontal above a sink.
