Attention! Property Damage!
• Should the clothing care instructions forbid ironing,
(symbol ), the clothing item may not be ironed. If
you do so, the clothing item could be permanently
damaged.
• The water tank is to be filled exclusively with tap wa-
ter or distilled water. Otherwise, you will damage
the steam iron.
• Do not clean the steam iron with solvents, alcohol or
abrasive cleaning agents, since these could cause
damage.
Before initial use
• Remove the steam iron from the packaging.
• Remove all stickers and protective film from the
steam iron and the ironing sole q.
Risk of asphyxiation!
Plastic bags can be dangerous. To avoid the risk of as-
phyxiation, keep plastic bags out of the reach of todd-
lers and small children.

Note:
Should the tap water in your area be rated as hard, it is
recommended that you mix tap water with some distil-
led water. Otherwise, the jets for the steam blast func-
tion could calcify (become blocked) prematurely.
To extend the optimal steam blast function, mix tap wa-
ter with distilled water as follows.
