Using the appliance

Filling the water tank

Note: Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. If you live in an area with very hard water,

fast scale build-up may occur. In this case, it is recommended to mix 50% distilled water and 50% tap water to

prolong the lifetime of your appliance.

Note: Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other

chemicals in the water tank.

1 Set the steam control to position t (dry ironing). (Fig. 2)

2 Fill the water tank up to the MAX indication (Fig. 3).

1 Consult table 1 to set the temperature dial to the appropriate setting for your garment (Fig. 4).

2 Put the iron on its heel and plug it in. The temperature light goes on to indicate that the iron is

heating up (Fig. 5).

3 When the temperature light goes out, the iron has reached the correct temperature.

4 Consult table 1 to select a steam setting that corresponds to the temperature you have set (Fig. 6).

Note: To use turbo steam

, keep the steam control pressed to the turbo steam position continuously.

Caution: Do not set the steam control to a steam setting if the set temperature is below 2 or when

the iron is still heating up (when the temperature light is on). Otherwise water may leak from the iron.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

1 Set the steam control to t (dry ironing), unplug the iron and let it cool down. (Fig. 2)

2 Pour any remaining water out of the water tank.

3  Wipeakesandanyotherdepositsoffthesoleplatewithadampclothandanon-abrasive(liquid)

cleaning agent.

Caution: To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad,

vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.

Note: Regularly rinse the water tank with tap water. Empty the water tank after rinsing it.

Calc-Clean function

IMPORTANT: To prolong the lifetime of your appliance and to maintain good steaming

performance, use the Calc-Clean function once every two weeks. If the water in your area

is very hard (i.e. when akes come out of the soleplate during ironing), use the Calc-Clean

function more frequently.

1 Make sure the appliance is unplugged and the steam control is set to t (dry ironing). (Fig. 2)

2 Fill the water tank to the MAX indication. (Fig. 3)

Do not pour vinegar or other descaling agents into the water tank.

3 Plug in the iron and set the temperature dial to MAX (Fig. 11).

4 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.

6 Gently shake the iron until all water in the water tank has been used up (Fig. 13).

Caution:Whilescaleisushedout,steamandboilingwateralsocomeoutofthesoleplate.

7 Set the steam control back to t (dry ironing). (Fig. 2)

Note: Repeat the Calc-Clean process if the water that comes out of the iron still contains scale particles.

After the Calc-Clean process

1 Plug in the iron. Let the iron heat up to let the soleplate dry.

2 Unplug the iron when the temperature light goes out.

3 Move the iron gently over a piece of cloth to remove any water stains on the soleplate.

4 Let the iron cool down before you store it.

Storage

1 Unplug the iron and set the steam control to t (dry ironing). (Fig. 2)

2 Wind the mains cord round the cord storage facility and store the iron on its heel (Fig. 14).
