USE
Filling with water (for steam ironing)
• Set the thermostat knob (8) to 0 position.
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Lift the water reservoir lid (2), and fill
with water (max. 120 ml), using the
refilling container (11) if you wish.
• Close the water reservoir lid.
Setting the temperature
• Select the required iron temperature
using the thermostat knob:
• Synthetic fabrics (nylon,
polyester,
acrylic, etc.)
•• Wool, silk or blends
••• Cotton or linen
• Place the steam iron on its end, so it
stands upright. Plug in and switch the
power on.
• Do not start ironing until the indicator
light (7) goes out. The indicator light
switches on and off during ironing,
as the thermostat regulates the
temperature of the steam iron.
• If you turn the temperature up using
the thermostat button, you should not
start to iron until the indicator light
goes out.
Steam ironing
Steam ironing is only possible at high
temperatures. Do not use steam ironing
when the thermostat knob is at position
•. If you do, water runs out from the
soleplate, because the steam iron is not
hot enough to convert all the water to
steam.
• Check that there is sufficient water in
the reservoir.
• Set the thermostat knob to the
required position (at least ••).
• Plug in. Start ironing when the
thermostat light goes out.
• Turn the steam setting selection knob
(4) to select the steam setting. You can
choose between the following settings:
0 No steam
Minimum steam
Maximum steam
Cleaning (see ‘Cleaning’
section)
• The steam iron gives off continuous
steam from the soleplate in settings 2
and 3. Begin steam ironing.
• Turn the steam setting selection knob
to 0 to stop continuous steam.
Spray function
This function moistens the item you are
ironing when you want to remove crea-
ses. The function cannot be used unless
there is water in the reservoir, or when the
indicator light is on.
• Press the button for the spray function
(3). The steam iron gives off spray from
the spray nozzle (1).
Dry ironing
You dry iron in the same way as you
steam iron, except the steam setting
selection knob must be in position 0.
Tips!
• Always stand the iron upright if you
take a break from ironing!
• Always iron synthetic fabrics and silk
on the reverse. This avoids shiny spots
on the fabric.
• The steam function can also be used
when the steam iron is held upright.
This is useful if you want to remove
marks or creases from hanging
garments, curtains, etc.
• Wool products (100% wool) may be
pressed when the steam iron is set to
steam position. We recommend using
the setting for maximum steam, with a
layer of dry fabric between the steam
iron and the item to be ironed.
CLEANING
• Remove the plug from the socket
before cleaning.
• Pour any excess water from the water
reservoir.
• Stand the steam iron upright, and
allow it to cool completely.
• Remove starch etc. from the soleplate
using a damp cloth with a little
detergent. Wipe off with a dry cloth.
• Never use a scouring sponge or
abrasive cleaning agents on the
soleplate.
• We recommend that you clean the
steam iron thoroughly once a month as
follows:
o Fill the water reservoir half full and
stand the steam iron upright.
o Set the thermostat knob to position
•••, plug the iron in and switch on
the power.
o Wait until the indicator light goes
off. Unplug the iron and hold it
horizontal above a sink.
o Turn the steam setting selection
knob to the cleaning setting and lift
it.
