NOTE:
The iron heats up faster than it cools down. Start ironing
with the lowest temperature setting.
CAUTION:
When changing from a higher to a lower temperature
the blue indicator starts flashing fast. This means that the
temperature is too high for the setting. Do not singe your
laundry!
Only continue ironing after the blue indicator stops flashing
and an acoustic signal is emitted.
Water Tank (7)
• The water tank has a recessed grip on the bottom so that
it can be removed.
• The lock of the water tank is also the lime filter cartridge.
Take out the lime filter cartridge to fill with water. With
this, proceed as described under "How can I replenish
the water during operation?".
• The tank volume is 1.0 litres.
• The tank illumination lights once the mains plug has
been inserted into the outlet. It indicates readiness for
steam ironing when the lime filter cartridge and the water
tank have been set correctly.
Water
Use only tap water or distilled water.
Do not fill battery water, water from the clothes dryer and
water containing additives (such as starch, perfume, softener
or other chemicals) into the water reservoir.

damp
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 tempera-
tures.
• If the handle should still be in the carrying position,
unlock the lock as described above under "Function of
the Handle".
• Place the iron on the rest (5).
• Only connect the machine to a properly installed safety
socket, 230 V~, 50 Hz.
• Use the selector button SET (11) to set the temperature.
If you have sensitive items to iron, please begin with the
lowest temperature.
NOTE:
• The selected temperature lights up blue and flashes
slowly. The iron heats up. The operating temperature is
reached as soon as the blue display stops flashing and
a beep sounds. Now you can start ironing.
• The iron is electronically held at a constant temperature
during use. If the blue indicator in the display flashes
slowly, the appliance is in the process of heating up.
• If the blue indicator flashes quickly in the display, the
temperature for the set position is still too high. Do not
scorch your washing! Only continue to iron if the blue
indicator stops flashing and a beep sounds.
After use press the selector button SET (11) repeatedly until
the red control lamp flashes in the display. Disconnect the
mains plug from the socket.
Steam Ironing
WARNING:
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 filled to the required level.
• The lime filter cartridge always has to be positioned in
the water tank, even if you use distilled water.
CAUTION: INITIAL USE:
Please proceed as follows:
• The tank should only be filled up to the maximum
mark. Do not overfill!
