Setting the temperature

1 Put the iron on its heel.

2 To set the required ironing temperature, turn the

temperature dial to the appropriate position (Fig. 5).

Check the laundry care label for the required ironing

temperature:

1 for synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, nylon, polyamide,

polyester)

1 for silk

2 for wool

3 for cotton and linen

If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article

is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by

ironing a part that is not visible when you wear or use

the article.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side

of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. To prevent stains,

do not use the spray function.

Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing

temperature, such as those made of synthetic bres.

3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

The amber temperature light goes on (Fig. 6).

4 When the temperature light goes out, wait a while

before you start ironing.

The temperature light goes on from time to time during

ironing.

Using the appliance

Note: The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for

the rst time. This stops after a short while.

Steam ironing

1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water

tank.

2 Set the recommended ironing temperature (see

chapter‘Preparingforuse’,section‘Settingthe

temperature’).

3 Set the appropriate steam setting. Make sure that

the steam setting is suitable for the set ironing

temperature: (Fig. 7)

1 - 2 for moderate steam (temperature settings 2

to 3)

3 - 4 for maximum steam (temperature settings

3 to MAX)

Note: The iron starts to produce steam as soon as it

has reached the set temperature.

Note: If the selected ironing temperature is too low (MIN

to 2), water may drip from the soleplate (see chapter

‘Features’, section ‘Drip stop’).

Ironing without steam

1 Set the steam control to position 0 (= no

steam) (Fig. 3).

2 Set the recommended ironing temperature (see

chapter‘Preparingforuse’,section‘Settingthe

temperature’).

Features

Spray function

You can use the spray function at any temperature to

moisten the article to be ironed. This helps remove

stubborn creases.

1 Make sure that there is enough water in the water

tank.

2 Press the spray button several times to moisten the

article to be ironed (Fig. 8).

Steam boost

A powerful steam boost helps to remove very stubborn

creases.

The steam boost function can only be used at

temperature settings between 2 and MAX.

1 Press and release the steam boost button (Fig. 9).

Concentrated steam boost from the special

Steam Tip (specic types only)

The concentrated steam boost from the long vents in

the Steam Tip enhances the distribution of steam into

every part of your garment. The concentrated steam

boost function can only be used at temperature settings

between 2 and MAX.

1 Press and release the steam boost button (Fig. 10).

Vertical steam boost

You can also use the steam boost function when you hold

the iron in vertical position. This is useful for removing

creases from hanging clothes, curtains etc.

1 Hold the iron in vertical position and press and

release the steam boost button (Fig. 11).

Never direct the steam at people.

Drip stop (specic types only)

This iron is equipped with a drip-stop function: the

iron automatically stops producing steam when the

temperature is too low, to prevent water from dripping

out of the soleplate. When this happens you may hear a

sound.

Automatic shut-off function (specic types

only)

The automatic shut-off function automatically switches off

the iron if it has not been moved for a while.

The red auto-off indication of the temperature light

off by the automatic shut-off function (Fig. 6).

To let the iron heat up again:

1 Pick up the iron or move it slightly

The red auto-off indication goes out.

If the temperature of the soleplate has dropped

below the set ironing temperature, the amber

temperature light goes on.

2 If the amber temperature light goes on after you

have moved the iron, wait for it to go out before

you start ironing.

Note: If the amber temperature light does not go on

after you move the iron, the soleplate still has the right

temperature and the iron is ready for use.

Cleaning and maintenance

1 Set the steam control to position 0, remove the

plug from the wall socket and let the iron cool

down.

other chemicals to clean the soleplate.

3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.

4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty

the water tank after you have rinsed it (Fig. 12).

Double-Active Calc System (specic types

The Double-Active Calc System consists of an Anti-Calc

tablet inside the water tank combined with the Calc-

steam vents. This tablet is constantly active and does

not need to be replaced (Fig. 13).
