After ironing, press the on/off button for a few seconds and the appliance will switch off. All
indicator lights will now go out. Remove the plug from the wall socket. Let the appliance cool down
completely.
If you do not use the steam button or control panel buttons for 10 minutes, the appliance will
automatically switch off. This is a safeguard in case you forget to switch off the iron.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR LIGHT
When the iron is heating up, the temperature indicator light will come on. When the set temperature is
reached, the light will turn off again. During ironing, the light will switch on and off alternately, as the iron
is kept at the correct temperature.
EMPTY WATER TANK INDICATOR
When there is too little water in the water tank, your steam station will make a rattling sound and the
steam will stop. The steam station will stop working until enough water is refilled. If you have not filled the
water tank sufficiently, the water will not be pumped to the iron.
DESCALE INDICATOR
This light will come on when the steam station needs descaling. When you have removed all the limescale,
the light will turn off again. You can read about the correct descaling process under the "Descaling"
section. Repeat this process until the light goes out. This will prolong the life of your appliance.
