Preparations (A)
1. Remove any label or protective covering from the
soleplate.
2. Place the appliance horizontally on a solid, stable surface.
You may remove the iron pad from the appliance and
place the iron on it on another solid, stable, horizontal
surface.
3. Remove the detachable water tank (1) and fill it, making
sure not to pass the level mark.
4. Fit the water tank back onto the steam tank.
5. Unwind the mains cable (10) fully and plug it into an
earthed socket.
6. Set the main power (5) button to the "I" position.
7. The "Steam ready" indicator lamp (6) will light up after
several minutes, indicating that the appliance is ready to
use.
The steam generator will take more time to reach "Steam
ready" state only upon the initial heating up, or after per-
forming the de-scaling operation (Calc'n clean).
When water is already present in the steam generator
during regular use, heat up time to reach the operating
temperature will be faster.
8. This appliance has a built-in water level sensor. The
"refill water tank" indicator (7) will light when the water
tank is empty.
Important:
• Normal tap water can be used.
To prolong the optimum steam function, mix tap water
with distilled water 1:1. If the tap water in your district is
very hard, mix tap water with distilled water 1:2.
You can inquire about the water hardness with your local
water supplier.
• The water tank can be filled at any time while using the
appliance.
• To avoid damage and/or contamination of the water
tank and the boiler, do not put perfume, vinegar, starch,
descaling agents, additives or any other type of chemical
product into the water tank.
Any damage caused by the use of the aforemen-
tioned products, will make the guarantee void.
• The iron is not designed to rest on its heal. Please al-
ways position it horizontally on the iron pad (2).
• The iron pad can be placed into the specially designed
recess on the appliance or somewhere suitable along-
side the ironing area.
Never rest the iron on the appliance without the iron
pad!.
• During it first use the iron may produce certain vapours
and odours, along with white particles on the soleplate,
this is normal and it will stop after a few minutes
• While the steam release button is pressed, the water
tank may produce a pumping sound, this is normal,
indicating that water is being pumped to the steam tank.

Setting the temperature

1. Check the ironing instruction label on the garment to
determine the correct ironing temperature.
2. Select the temperature (12)
"•" Synthetics
"••" Silk – Wool
"•••" Cotton – Linen
3. The indicator lamp (13) will remain lit while the iron is
heating and go out as soon as the iron has reached the
selected temperature.
Tips:
• Sort your garments out based on their cleaning symbol
labels, always starting with clothes that have to be ironed
at the lowest temperatures.
• If you are not sure what the garment is made of then
begin ironing at a low temperature and decide on the
correct temperature by ironing a small section not usually
seen when worn
Ironing with steam (B)
1. Turn the temperature selector (12) to the required
setting.
2. Set the amount of steam to suit your needs, using the
variable steam control (3) (depending on the model).
For normal use, please choose one of the following
recommended settings:
Temperature
•
••
•••
3. Press the steam release button to release steam.
Attention:
1. When ironing on a lower temperature setting "•".
• If the appliance has variable steam control (3), set the
variable steam control to its lowest position ("1").
• If the appliance does not have variable steam control,
press the steam release button only for a few seconds at
a time when ironing at lower temperatures.
In both cases, if you find that water is dripping out of the
soleplate, set the temperature selector (12) to a higher
position (take care that the garment can be ironed on this
heat temperature setting).
2. At the beginning of each use, it is possible that drops of
water will be dispensed alongside steam. Therefore, it is
advisable to try the iron on the ironing board or a piece
of cloth to start with.
