DESCRIPTION
BEFORE USE
1 • Unpacking
Take the iron out of the box and remove all the stickers.
IMPORTANT Before doing anything else, remove the soleplate protector (fig.1)!
2 • What water may be used ?
Your iron has been designed to operate using untreated tap water up to 17° dH
(German water hardness). If in doubt, check with your local water authority.
However, if your water is very hard, you can mix 50% untreated tap water with
50% distilled or demineralised water.
IMPORTANT Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during
evaporation. The types of water listed below contain organic waste or mineral
elements that can cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear of the
appliance:- water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from
refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners, pure distilled or demineralised water
or rain water should not be used in your iron. Also do not use boiled, filtered or
bottled water.
3 • Using for the first time
Plug in the iron (fig.2) and set the temperature control dial (fig.3) to ••• to heat the
appliance.
A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this is only temporary.

To remove any impurities in the iron's steam chamber, unplug the iron and hold it
over a sink horizontally. Push the steam control into the Self Clean position : steam
