Tip: We recommend that you start with fabrics to be
ironed at a low temperature as the iron takes longer to
cool down than to heat up. For mixed fabrics set the
temperature for the most delicate fabrics.
Ironing and Steam functions
E1 Dry ironing
To iron without continuous steam, turn the steam control
(
➌
) to the position and set the temperature to suit the
type of material (care points
•, •• or •••).
E2 Steam ironing
You can steam iron by setting the temperature in the marked
steam zone (after
••
). The steam quantity can be set to
between (no steam position) and (maximum steam
quantity). We recommend setting to maximum steam
quantity only when the iron is set at temperature setting
•••.
E3
Shot steam button (temperature setting after •• in the steam
zone)
To generate a powerful jet of steam to remove stubborn
creases, press the power steam button.
Vertical steam ironing (temperature setting after
•• in the
steam zone)
Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts, han-
ging curtains etc.
Important:
Never steam or iron clothing that is being worn!
• Hang the garment on a hanger
• Set the thermostat control to maximum steam
• Hold the iron a few centimetres away from the garment
to avoid burning delicate fabrics
• Press the power steam button repeatedly, moving the
iron from top to bottom
The power steam and vertical steam functions (E3) are
also possible to use if the steam control is set to the
position. The interval between bursts of steam should be
about4 seconds.
Important: Never direct the steam at persons or animals!
Do not touch delicate fabrics with the hot soleplate!
E4 Spray function
To dampen stubborn creases, press the spray button.
Additional functions
F1 Self Clean – prolongs the life of the iron
The Self clean function flushes dirt and scale particles
out of the steam chamber.
To operate:
• Fill the tank with untreated tap water up to the maxi-
mum mark and heat the iron to max. temperature.
• Unplug from the mains.
• Hold iron over a sink horizontally, push the steam control
(
➌
) past the position and into the Self Clean posi-
tion and hold it there: steam will now begin to build up.
After a few seconds water and steam will emerge from
the soleplate, rinsing dirt and scale particles out of the
steam chamber.
