Before Initial Operation - Clatronic DBS 3611 Bedienungsanleitung

Before initial operation

CAUTION:
Before using the appliance for the first time, you must insert
one of the anti-scale filter cartridges provided.
Inserting the anti-scale filter
1. Press the button (11) in order to pull out the tank.
2. Insert the anti-scale filter cartridge.
3. Fill the tank with water until the maximum mark. Do not
overfill!
4. Push the tank back into the base. A "click" sound will
indicate that the tank is correctly positioned.
5. Before operating the appliance wait for several minutes
until the anti-scale filter cartridge has absorbed all the water
it can.
Depending on the hardness of your water, the anti-scale filter
cartridge will be used up after approx. 18 liters of water flowing
through it (approx. 8 tank fillings). After that, the cartridge will
lose its efficiency and must be replaced, as the appliance
could otherwise become damaged. If necessary, contact your
local water company for information about the hardness of your
water.
CAUTION:
Regularly replace the anti-scale filter cartridge. Appliances
damaged by scaling are excluded from liability.
Operation
Before Initial Use
• Clean the ironing base with a slightly damp cloth.
• In order to remove all residues before initial use, please
pass the iron a few times over an old clean cloth.
Ironing without steam
NOTE:
Sort out the garments according to their ironing temperatures.
1. If the handle should still be in the carrying position, unlock
the lock as described above under "Function of the
Handle".
2. Place the iron on the rest (6).
3. Only connect the machine to a properly installed safety
socket.
4. Adjust the temperature on the temperature control (3). If
you have sensitive items to iron, please begin with the low-
est temperature.
NOTE:
The control lamp (5) on the iron indicates the heating pro-
cess. As soon as this goes out, the operating tempera-
ture is reached. You can now begin ironing.

Steam Ironing
WARNING:
The iron expels a large quantity of hot steam. Danger of
burns.
CAUTION:
• When using the steam iron please ensure that the water
tank is always filled to the required level.
• The lime filter cartridge always has to be positioned in the
water tank, even if you use distilled water.
CAUTION: Initial use:
Please proceed as follows:
1. The tank should only be filled up to the maximum mark.
Do not overfill!
2. Close the water tank and place it back in the base.
3. Connect the base station to a socket with earthing
contact.
4. If the handle is still in the carrying position, release the
lock as described under "Function of the Handle".
5. Set the required temperature in the range " " to "
The control lamp on the iron lights up.
6. Wait until the sole plate has heated up. If the temperature
has been reached, the control lamp goes out.
7. Now press the steam jet button (2) for at least 60 sec-
onds or until the steam comes out of the soleplate. This
time is needed for the steam to reach the iron. A slightly
louder noise of the pump is normal with this.
CAUTION:
• A high temperature is needed to iron with steam. Set the
temperature control at least to the " " symbol.
• If the temperature is too low, the iron soleplate does not
become hot enough to evaporate the water. Thus it is
possible that water may leak from the soleplate as soon
as you press the steam jet button.
Vertical Steam function
This can be used to produce a jet of steam in a vertical direc-
tion. This function can be used to remove creases from hanging
clothes or from curtains.
WARNING:
Never point the steam jet at other people. Danger of burns.
Hang the washing on a hanger. Guide the iron closely over the
material as specified by the material.
How can I replenish the water during operation?
Refill with water before the tank is completely empty. A loud
noise of the pump during operation indicates that the water
level is too low.
1. Place the iron on the rest (6).
2. Set the temperature control to "MIN".
3. Remove the mains plug from the socket.
