Water
Please use only distilled water. Do not fi ll battery water,
water from the clothes dryer and water containing
additives (such as starch, perfume, softener or other
chemicals) into the water reservoir. 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
temperatures.
• Always set the temperature control to „0" before
connecting the appliance to a power point, or
before disconnecting it.
• Place the iron on the rest (3).
• Only connect the machine to a properly installed
safety socket, 230 V/50 Hz.
• Set the temperature on the temperature control (1).
If you have sensitive items to iron, please begin with
the lowest temperature.
NOTE:
The control lamp (14) on the iron shows that it is
heating up. As soon as the control lamp goes off
the operating temperature has been reached. Now
you can start ironing.
• Always turn the temperature control to „0" after use
and remove the mains plug (the control lamp in the
handle goes off ).
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 wa-
ter tank is always fi lled to the required level. Operating
the device without water will damage it.
