•
You might notice a small amount of smoke the fi rst time you use the device.
This is harmless and will cease as you use the device.
•
When the steam is pumped towards the steam outlet opening of the bottom
of the iron, the pump generates a noise in the form of a humming sound. This
noise is produced for technical reasons and does not represent a defect with
the device.
•
Make sure that the water reservoir is not completely emptied during use in
order to prevent damage to the water pump. If the water reservoir is emptied,
loud pumping noises can be heard. In this case, switch off the steam, move
the temperature control to Min, pull out the mains plug and top up the water
reservoir. The steam function can then be used again without restriction.
•
We recommend setting the temperature control on higher temperature lev-
els (•• and higher), when using the steam irong function. Thus, the steam is
additionally heated via the hot ironing plate.
•
Only switch on the steam funktion, when the device has reached working
temperature on a higher temperature level (•• and higher), i.e. when the
temperature control lamp has switched off. The heating process can take
up to 2 minutes, if the device has just been switched on.
•
When pressing the steam button for the fi rst time after switching on the
device, water can be emitted in additon to steam. This is normal and should
stop after a while.
1. Fill up the water reservoir (see the "Filling/Emptying the Water Reservoir" chapter).
2. Place the device upright on a stable, fl at, heat-resistant and moisture-resistant surface.
3. Check the label in the item of clothing to fi nd out the required ironing temperature.
4. Make sure that the temperature control is on level Min and connect the device to a
properly installed, easily accessible plug socket. When putting the device into op-
eration, make sure that the steam function is deactivated (the steam control
indicator has to be off, after connection the device to a plug socket!). Activate
the steam function not until the device has reached operating temperature.
5. Set a temperature level with the aid of the temperature control (•, ••, ••• Max). As
soon as you have set a temperature level, the heating process starts immediately.
The temperature indicator lights up during the heating process and switches off,
when the adjusted temperature has been reached. During use the device starts
heating from time to time in order to maintain a constant operating temperature. Ac-
cordingly, the temperature indicator lights up and switches off frequently.
6. To produce a continuous fl ow of steam, press one of the two steam buttons. When
the steam function is activated, the steam control indicator will light up.
7. To stop the fl ow of steam, press the steam button again. The steam control indicator
will go out, when the the steam function is deactivated.
8. Make sure that the water reservoir is not emptied completely during use. Top up the
water reservoir as described in the "Filling/Emptying the Water Reservoir" chapter.
9. After use, switch off the steam button, move the temperature control to Min and pull
the plug out of the plug socket. Place the device upright on its base and allow it to
cool down completely before you empty the water reservoir (see the "Filling/Empty-
ing the Water Reservoir" chapter) and/or clean and store away the device.
