Start up
Before it is used for the first time, the iron
should be cleaned according to the
instructions given in the paragraph General
Care and Cleaning. This will result in the
removal of possible dust particles from the
sole plate and subsequently lessen the smell
typically encountered when first switching
on.
Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Steam output control
The steam output control is used to adjust
the steam output. The selected steam output
level is shown by means of one of the
indicator lights on the steam output indicator
display. When none of the lights are on, the
steam function is switched off.
With a low temperature setting selected on
the iron, the steam output level should be set
to low as well.
To switch off the steam function for an
extended period, keep the output control
depressed for 4 seconds. The indicator light
will show red, leaving only the iron switched
on. The steam function can be re-activated
by pressing the steam output control again.

Steam ironing
- Fill the water reservoir with clean tap
water.
- Place the iron onto its stand and insert
the plug into a suitable wall socket. The
indicator light for maximum steam
output on the steam output indicator
display comes on. The main indicator
light starts flashing green. Once the boiler
has reached its operating temperature, an
acoustic signal is heard and the main
indicator light shows steady green.
- Set the temperature control knob to the
required ironing temperature according
to the ironing symbols.
- As the iron heats up, the indicator lamp
on the iron will be on. It goes out once
the required ironing temperature is
reached.
●
Before starting to iron, the sole plate
should be cleaned by passing it over a
clean cotton cloth, while using the steam
jet function; this helps to flush out any
dirt residues or lint particles trapped
inside the openings in the sole plate.
●
When the steam jet button is depressed,
the sound of the pump increases, as
residual air is pumped out of the boiler.
The water-level warning light
red and starts flashing. The light will go
out after approx. 30 seconds and steam
will be emitted.
- Use the steam output control to select
the required steam output.
- You can now start ironing.
●
If, during ironing, the water reservoir
becomes empty, simply re-fill it as
described in the section 'Filling with
water'.
●
Replace the iron on its stand on the
steam generator after use, and remove
the plug from the wall socket.
Steam jet
When the steam jet button is depressed, jets
of steam are emitted through the openings in
the sole plate. This function can be very
useful when removing stubborn creases or
when ironing difficult or thick fabrics.
The steam jet function may also be used
with the iron held vertically, to remove
creases or wrinkles from fabrics.
Remarks:
- If the steam jet button is depressed
before the required boiler temperature
has been reached, a double acoustic
signal is heard. The heating-up process of
the boiler takes about one minute.
- If the steam jet button is depressed for a
longer time, the temperature in the boiler
will be reduced and there is a chance that
hot water will be emitted through the
sole plate together with the steam.
Before this happens, an acoustic signal
