Setting The Temperature; Ironing Without Steam; Auto Shut-Off - Siemens SL25 Series Gebrauchsanleitung

7. The "Steam ready" indicator lamp (7) 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
performing 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 (3) 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 aforementioned
products, will make the guarantee void.
• The iron is not designed to rest on its heal. Please always
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 alongside
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 (10)
"•" Synthetics
"••" Silk – Wool
"•••" Cotton – Linen
3. The indicator lamp (12) 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)

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 (10) to a higher
position (take care that the garment can be ironed on this
heat temperature setting).
