cloth between the iron and the wool. It is best to press wool on the inner surface of the fabric.
• Always iron velvety fabrics and other fabrics that readily become shiny in one direction; apply gentle
pressure to the iron.
• Never iron over zips, etc. These can scratch the soleplate.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Rinsing the tank
Rinsing the tank monthly reduces limescale and lengthens the lifespan of your device.
1. Make sure the tank is empty and completely cooled down.
2. Fill the tank for up to three quarters with cold water.
3. Shake the tank thoroughly so the insides will be rinsed completely.
4. Empty the tank. For the best result, repeat these steps several times.
WARNING:
• For optimal results it is best to rinse the tank when it hasn't been used for at least a few hours.
• Never use descaling agents, cleaning acids or vinegar in your rinsing water. Simple tap water will
suffice.
• Rinse the tank after every tenth use. If the area you live in has particularly hard water, it is
recommended to rinse more frequently and use distilled or bottled water.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Make sure the boiler and the soleplate have cooled down and the plug has been removed from the
wall socket.
2. Clean the soleplate with a damp cloth. Never use a descaling agent.
3. Store the iron.
WARNING:
• Never use metal implements or scourers to clean the soleplate; otherwise the soleplate could be
damaged.
• Never immerse the appliance, plug or power cord in water.
• Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to
clean the appliance.

PROBLEM SOLVING

PROBLEM
The device doesn't do anything.
The iron is leaking water.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
The device doesn't receive any
power.
You are pressing the steam
release button before sufficient
heat has been generated.
__________________________
Because you are using the
device for the first time (in a
long while), condensated water
remains in the steam circuit.
__________________________
The water tank is too full.
__________________________
The thermostat doesn't function
properly, so the temperature
remains too low.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Check if the plug is connected to
the socket and if the device has
been switched on.
Wait until the pilot light turns
off, this means the correct
temperature has been reached.
__________________________
While directing the iron away
from the ironing board, press the
steam release button until steam
discharges from the iron.
__________________________
Make sure the water tank has
not been filled beyond its -max-
