place the steam iron upright on its base
stand and insert the plug into the wall
socket.
-
Set the temperature control to the
required ironing level as indicated by the
ironing symbols. The appropriate LED
indicator light will come on.
-
During the heating-up process the main
indicator light will be on as well. The light
will go out once the required ironing
temperature is reached.
● Before ironing any fabrics, the sole plate
should be cleaned by passing it over an
old, clean cotton cloth, while using the
steam jet function; this helps to flush out
any dirt residues or lint particles trapped
inside the openings in the sole plate.
● The steam output can be adjusted to
different levels with the steam control
button, or turned off completely for dry
ironing.
● For dry ironing, the water reservoir can
be left empty. Should there be water
remaining in the reservoir, the steam jet
function may also be used when dry-
ironing at higher temperature settings.
● Place the iron upright on its base stand
after use and remove the plug from the
wall socket.
Automatic switch-off
If the appliance is switched on but is not
being used for a certain period of time, it will
automatically switch off. This automatic
switch-off is indicated by an acoustic signal;
in addition, the white indicator light flashes
(without any of the LED indicator lights
being on). As soon as the appliance is
moved, it will switch on again.
Horizontal position:
With the iron standing on its sole plate, it will
switch off after approx 30 seconds of
inactivity.
Vertical position:
When upright on its base stand, the iron will
switch off after approx. 8 minutes of
inactivity.
Steam jet
When the steam jet button is depressed, an
additional steam jet is emitted from the sole
plate. This function can be very useful when
the regular amount of steam emitted is not
sufficient to remove stubborn creases or
when ironing difficult or thick fabrics.
The steam jet function may also be used
with the iron held vertically, to remove
creases or wrinkles from fabrics.
Using the spray nozzle
The laundry can be dampened by pressing
the spray button. This will help to smooth
out difficult areas. The spray nozzle may be
used at any temperature level during dry or
steam ironing.
General Care and Cleaning
● Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
-
If necessary, the unit may be wiped with
a dry lint-free cloth.
-
Starch, fat and other deposits on the sole
plate may be removed with a woollen
cloth, either damp or soaked in a vinegar-
water solution.
● Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
● Do not put vinegar or other descalers
into the water reservoir.
Self-cleaning system
The self-cleaning system flushes out loose
mineral deposits and keeps the appliance
free of lime and dust particles. Self-cleaning
should be performed if the iron has not been
used for an extended period of time, or
otherwise every 10-15 days. Proceed as
follows:
-
Fill the water reservoir up to the
maximum level mark with water.
-
Place the iron on its base stand and insert
the plug into the wall socket.
