Drip-stop feature
As indicated on the temperature control
knob ᕣ, steam ironing is only possi-
ble at higher ironing temperatures. With
conventional steam irons, water may
drip from the soleplate if an extremely
low temperature has been selected.
However, a new feature has been added
to this iron – ‘DRIP STOP’ steam shut-off.
This means that the iron will automati-
cally stop steaming at low temperatures.
When this happens, you will hear a
“CLICK”. Then set the temperature con-
trol ᕣ to the required temperature.
Steaming will recommence as soon as
the required temperature has been rea-
ched.
Using as a dry iron
The iron can be used as a dry iron, even
if there is water in the water tank ᕢ. Do
not put water in the water tank ᕢ when
the iron is to be used as a dry iron for
many hours.
• Put the iron on the heel rest and then
plug the iron into the mains.
• Turn the steam control gear µ to
“O”.
• Set the temperature control knob ᕣ
to the required temperature.
• When the heating light Ƹ goes out, it
indicates that the iron has reached
the required temperature.
Care and cleaning instructions
• Ensure that the soleplate remains
smooth and unscratched by ironing
around on not over zippers, rivets or
any other objects which may scratch
the soleplate.
• The hardness of the water and its
minerals differs widely from region to
region. If the water in your area is
very hard, we recommend the use of
distilled water that is available in
retail stores in order to ensure the
optimum function of the iron. If you
do not use distilled water, clean the
iron regularly using the Calc-Clean
function (see section “Calc-Clean
Function”).
• Do not disassemble or repair your iron
yourself.
• After each use, remove the plug and
let the iron cool down. Wipe the sole-
plate with a damp cloth and non-
abrasive (liquid) cleaner. Clean the
iron body with a damp cloth.
Emptying and storing the iron
• Slide the steam control gear µ several
times from 0 to the steam position
and back again (self-cleaning).
• Be sure the iron is unplugged first.
• Pour out any remaining water by sha-
king the iron.
• Make it a habit to empty the iron
after each use.
• Put the iron on the storage cover. Do
not use the storage cover while iro-
ning.
• Wind the power cord around the cord
winder. Do not wrap the power cable
too tightly!
