CAUTION: INITIAL USE:
• Close the water tank and place it back in the base.
• Connect the base station to a 230 V~/50 Hz socket with
earthing contact.
• If the handle is still in the carrying position, release the
lock as described under "Function of the Handle".
• Use the selector button SET (11) to set the tempera-
ture. Refer to the table above.
• Wait until the sole plate has heated up. The operating
temperature is reached as soon as the blue indicator
stops flashing and a beep sounds.
• Press the steam jet button (1) for at least 1/2 minute. As
an alternative, you can pull back the lock (9) to lock the
steam jet button (10). This time is needed for the steam
to reach the iron. A slightly louder noise of the pump is
normal with this.
NOTE ON STEAM IRONING:
• Setting is not intended for steam ironing (see table).
• The amount of steam is electronically controlled. It is
based on the ironing temperature.
• The ironing temperature is electronically controlled
during use. The device heats up if the blue indicator on
the display starts flashing slowly.
After use, press the selector button SET (11) repeatedly until
the red control lamp appears in the display. Disconnect the
mains plug from the socket.
Vertical Steam function (Vertical Steam)
This can be used to produce a jet of steam in a vertical
direction. This function can be used to remove creases from
hanging clothes or from curtains.
WARNING:
Never point the steam jet at other people. Danger of
burns.
Hang your laundry on a clothes hanger and move the iron to
approximately 5-15 cm away.
How can I replenish the water during operation?
Refill with water before the tank is completely empty. A loud
noise of the pump during operation indicates that the water
level is too low.
• Place the iron on the rest (5).
• Press the selector button SET (11)
repeatedly until the red control lamp
appears in the display.
• Remove the mains plug from the
socket.
• In order to remove the tank, press
the RELEASE button below the water
tank. (Fig. C).
• Remove the lime filter cartridge (Fig. D).
• Fill the tank up to the maximum mark
(Fig. E). Do not overfill!
• Reinsert the lime filter cartridge and push
the tank back into the base (Fig. F + G).
A "click" confirms that the water tank has
been set correctly.
• You can now
continue ironing.
NOTE:
The tank illumination lights once the mains plug has been
inserted into the outlet. If it does not light, the lime filter
cartridge or the water tank has not been set correctly.
Check both positions.
When you have finished
• Press the selector button SET (11) repeatedly until the red
control lamp appears in the display. Remove the mains
plug from the socket The light on the display goes out.
• Empty the water tank.
• Allow the device to cool down before you put it away.
Anti-scale filter
Your steam iron station is fitted with an anti-scale filter. The
anti-scale filter cartridge becomes spent after filtering ap-
proximately 18 litres of water, depending on the hardness
of your water. It then loses its effectiveness and must be
replaced.
• Turn off the appliance.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the mains.
• Remove the water tank.
• Remove the anti-scale filter cartridge.
• Fill the tank up to the maximum mark. Do not overfill!
• Insert a new anti-scale filter cartridge.
• Before turning on the appliance, wait a few minutes until
the new filter cartridge is saturated with water.
NOTE:
If you do not have a new anti-scale filter cartridge, you can
still iron with the used cartridge and distilled water.
Cleaning
WARNING:
• Always remove the mains lead before cleaning!
• Wait until the machine has cooled down completely.
• Under no circumstances should you immerse the
device in water for cleaning purposes. Otherwise this
might result in an electric shock or fire.
